Basilica Palladiana, Renaissance palace museum in Piazza dei Signori, Vicenza, Italy
The Basilica Palladiana features two levels of loggias with Serlian windows, stone columns, and brick walls around the perimeter of the building.
In 1549, architect Andrea Palladio transformed the medieval Palazzo della Ragione by adding exterior loggias, creating a Renaissance architectural masterwork.
The first floor contains a 52-meter-long council hall with a wooden ceiling shaped like an inverted ship hull, now used for exhibitions.
The palace opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with general admission tickets priced at 5 euros, valid for eight days.
The Jewelry Museum occupies 410 square meters on the ground floor, presenting collections through rotating exhibitions in specialized display cases.
