Palazzo Barbaran da Porto
Palazzo Barbaran da Porto, Renaissance palace museum in Vicenza, Italy
The palace exhibits a grand facade with Ionic columns on the ground floor and Corinthian columns on the main floor decorated with stucco reliefs.
Count Montano Barbarano commissioned architect Andrea Palladio to design this palace, which was constructed between 1570 and 1575 in central Vicenza.
