Palladian Basilica, Renaissance museum in Piazza dei Signori, Vicenza, Italy
The Basilica Palladiana features a distinctive white marble facade with repeating arches flanked by rectangular openings across its entire perimeter.
The building originated in the 15th century as Palazzo della Ragione until Andrea Palladio transformed it with classical forms starting from 1549.
The grand Council Hall on the first floor, measuring 52 meters in length, displays a wooden ceiling shaped like an inverted ship's hull.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with the last entry at 17:30, and houses temporary exhibitions in its main hall.
The Jewelry Museum inside the basilica represents the first Italian institution dedicated exclusively to displaying and studying precious ornaments.
