Tivoli, a town also known by the ancient Latin name of Tibur, in the course of history has often shared its fate with that of nearby Rome, although it can boast of even more ancient origins than the capital.Situated along the river Aniene, found right at the start of Via Valeria, the territory of Tivoli holds the two Roman villas that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este while among the religious monuments you’ll find the Cathedral Basilica of St. Lawrence deacon and martyr, in which you can admire the Triptych of the Holy Saviour dating back to the XII century, and the church of the Roman era, Santa Maria Maggiore.
