OK, it was a bloody hot day and we decided to take a visit out to the outskirts of Rome, and hopefully somewhere cooler. Oh we were wrong about the temperature, but the ruins were spectacular! Emperor Hadrian built this place as his summer palace... its very very grand. Whilst it was very hot we got a couple of shots for you.

First is an overview of the site. Next just some of the statues that were found at the ruins...most of them have been destroyed or stolen. Next is one from down by the pool. And the last is of Tivoli from Harian's Villa, our next stop.
