The Villa of Tiberius is a large Roman villa, which belonged in the 1st century AD. to the Roman emperor Tiberius, located in the town of Sperlonga. The villa is included in the tour of the National Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga.The villa consisted of several buildings arranged on terraces facing the sea. The actual villa preserves a series of rooms around a porticoed courtyard, including service rooms, which have been renovated several times, a furnace and an oven for baking bread. At the beginning of the 1st century AD. a long portico with two naves and the natural cave that stood near the villa were added.The cave includes a large main cavity, preceded by a large rectangular basin (fish pond) with sea water, in the center of which an artificial island was created that it housed the summer caenatio (dining room). The pool communicated with a circular pool (diameter of 12 m), located inside the cave.
