Villa Adriana as Collection. Hearst Castle and The Getty Center. This essay explores the enduring influence of the Villa Adriana on modern literature, film and architecture. Built by Emperor Hadrian near Tivoli, the villa is much more than just an ancient Roman site. Over time, it has evolved into a powerful symbol: an open, ever-changing space that continues to inspire writers, artists and architects alike.

The second part of the essay looks at two modern buildings in the United States that were inspired by…

St Donat's Castle (Welsh: Castell Sain Dunwyd), St Donats, Wales, is a medieval castle in the Vale of Glamorgan, about 16 miles (26 km) to the west of Cardiff, and about 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) to the west of Llantwit Major.

Sparta was a prominent ancient Greek polis in Laconia. In classical antiquity, the state was known as Lacedaemon (Λακεδαίμων, Lakedaímōn), while Sparta referred to its capital, a group of villages in the valley of the Evrotas River in Laconia, in southeastern Peloponnese.

During the second Persian invasion of Greece, Sparta was recognised as the leading land force of the Hellenic alliance that also included the risin…

Ancient Greece (Ancient Greek: Ἑλλάς, romanized: Hellás) was an ancient civilization existing from the Greek Dark Ages of the 12th–9th centuries BC to the end of classical antiquity (c. 600 AD), comprising a loose collection of culturally and linguistically related city-states and regions, primarily centered in the northeastern area of the Mediterranean Sea.

In Western history, the era of classical antiquity was immediately followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period. Scholars mark Ancient Greece as beginning with Mycenaean Greece, which declined dur…
