Today's Flickr photos with the most hits: Hadrian's villa, Tivoli.

An enormous complex of buildings with both government and personal functions. The photo on-site shows the Nymphaeum at the far end of the Canopus - an extended rectangular basin that celebrated the geographical extent and distinctive peoples and cultures of Empire - but all the villa's buildings showcased locations of particular significance to Hadrian.
