The splendour and artistic history of Vicenza are closely linked to the creative genius of Andrea Palladio, an architect admired all over the world. Here, in the sixteenth century, the great architect transformed the city and became known everywhere thanks to the artistic heritage he bequeathed to the people of Vicenza: the Palladian Basilica, the Palazzo Chiericati and the Teatro Olimpico are the highest expression of Palladio's artistic genius.

The architecture of Vicenza blends perfectly with the urban structure; everything, from palaces to villas, from churches to monuments, contributes in harmony to making the city a treasure chest. Since 1994 Vicenza has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Exploring the province of Vicenza means immersing yourself in beauty and Vicenza is a city to be discovered slowly, letting yourself be overwhelmed by the majesty of its monuments and villas. Among the most famous, Villa Almerico Capra, known as La Rotonda, which is located just outside Vicenza.
