Tivoli látnivalói

Tivoli Essentials

Located on the Aniene River, Tivoli contains two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the 16th-century Villa d'Este, famous for its Mannerist gardens and hydraulic fountains, and the sprawling 2nd-century Hadrian's Villa, which once served as the imperial retreat for Emperor Hadrian. The town also features the Parco di Villa Gregoriana, known for its 120-meter Great Waterfall and Roman ruins, alongside the 15th-century Rocca Pia fortress and the massive Santuario di Ercole Vincitore, a significant example of Roman Republican architecture.
