haven't been this crazy about bricks since second year....

hadrian's villa was the imperial estate for hadrian... would bring his court out here to dine them at the foot of artificial waterfalls, invite them to lounge in the enormous baths, look at the stars in his observatory with an amazing overlook of the area, have court, be impressed. apparently he also designed a good deal of the complex and it got built with enough speed that he also got to enjoy the usage of it... cool guy, seemingly. baths and fountains and more fountains and hospitals and libraries and fire brigades.... everything was out there... Posted by Picasa
