Catena: Digital Archive of Historic Gardens + Landscapes

Have you ever wondered what Hadrian's Villa looked like? Or perhaps you'd like to know more about the Villa Arconati? If so, you would do well to explore this remarkable site sponsored by the Bard Graduate Center and offering a digital cornucopia of information on ten different villas and their landscape histories. Designed to serve as an educational tool for teachers and scholars, Catena's materials cover Featured Sites, Project Info, and Historical Documentation. Within Featured Sites, users will find each villa accompanied by an interpretive text, an interactive plan, historical documentation, and a short bibliography. The Historical Documentation area is especially noteworthy, as it contains over a dozen meditations by historical figures including Erasmus, Henry James, and Columella on matters related to the vast world of landscape and garden history.
