Palazzo Porto in Piazza Castello

The palace features a three-story facade with composite columns, rusticated basement details, and alternating triangular and segmental window pediments.

Construction of Palazzo Porto started in 1571 under Alessandro Porto's commission, though only two bays were completed before Andrea Palladio's death.

The building forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation 'City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto' since 1994.

The palace stands as private property in the historic center of Vicenza, near other architectural landmarks that demonstrate Renaissance design principles.

An unbroken frieze with carved oak garlands runs across the front, while balustraded balconies extend from the upper floor windows.
