Villa Caldogno

Villa Caldogno features a symmetrical design with a central hall, side rooms, and frescoed walls depicting scenes from daily life of the 16th century.

The villa, completed in 1570 for Angelo Caldogno, incorporates existing structures from the 1540s and reflects the architectural principles of Andrea Palladio.

The interior contains frescoes by Giovanni Antonio Fasolo and Giovanni Battista Zelotti, two prominent artists who decorated several Palladian buildings.

The municipal-owned villa maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours through its Renaissance halls and decorated rooms.

During World War II, German forces built an underground concrete bunker with operating rooms behind the villa, now preserved as a historical feature.
