Palazzo Chiericati, Renaissance palace in Vicenza, Italy.
The Palazzo Chiericati features two levels of loggias with Doric columns on the ground floor and Ionic columns on the upper level.
Architect Andrea Palladio began constructing this noble residence in 1550 for Count Girolamo Chiericati, though completion extended until 1680 under Carlo Borella's direction.
The palazzo houses the Civic Museum of Vicenza, containing extensive collections of paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and numismatic artifacts from different periods.
Located on an elevated platform to prevent flooding, the palace stands in Piazza Matteotti, formerly known as the island square between Retrone and Bacchiglione rivers.
The building combines urban palace and villa architecture through its central structure with symmetrical wings, elevated position, and triple classical entrance staircase.
