Palladian Basilica
This impressive Renaissance building (or rather, its loggia) showed the world the first example in history of what later became known as the “Palladio window” — after the name of the creator. The first building dates back to the 15th century: it was called Palazzo della Ragione and was designed by Domenico da Venezia.
Palazzo Chiericati
Palazzo Chiericati is one of the Renaissance palazzi built in Vicenza by Andrea Palladio. Since 1855, the building housed the City Museum, and later an art gallery. The palazzo received the international status of a protected object in 1994, along with other buildings in Vicenza.
Villa La Rotonda
Villa Capra La Rotonda is a beautiful Renaissance building right outside the city limits, on a hill, designed by Andrea Palladio. Its real name is Villa Almerico Capra, but it is more often called La Rotonda. Capra is the surname of the brothers who completed the villa.
Villa Trissino
This modest building in the north of Vicenza played an important role in the fate of the famous architect Andrea Palladio. The Italian poet, playwright and diplomat Gian Giorgio Trissino was well versed in architecture and personally engaged in the reconstruction of his family villa.
Vicenza Cathedral
The official history of the Cathedral of Vicenza Santa Maria Annunciata begins in 1430, but it is known that already in the 6th century AD, the church of St. Euphemia, the patroness of the city, whose relics are still kept here, stood in its place.
