Palazzo Pojana, Renaissance palace in Vicenza, Italy.
Palazzo Pojana is a Renaissance palace in Vicenza that was created by merging two originally separate buildings divided by a narrow street. The facade displays classical elements like pilasters and fluted columns that structure the entire composition.
Vincenzo Pojana initiated construction between 1563 and 1566 after receiving permission to connect the two structures separated by a narrow passage. The merger of the two buildings was an ambitious project that emphasized the family's power and influence.
The palace reflects the tastes of the wealthy Pojana family, who merged two buildings to create a grand residence. Visitors can see today how the family displayed their status and wealth through the generous facade.
The palace is located on Corso Palladio, a main street in central Vicenza that is easy to reach on foot. The building remains visible and accessible from the outside, and visitors can admire the facade and architectural details from the public space.
Parts of the structure lack entasis in their pilasters, suggesting that some sections may date from earlier work than the main construction. These architectural peculiarities make the palace a place where visitors can trace the evolution of classical design.
