Villa Pojana, Renaissance villa in Pojana Maggiore, Italy
Villa Pojana features a grand central hall with a barrel vault ceiling and secondary rooms with distinct vaulting styles on both sides.
The villa was constructed between 1548 and 1549 for Bonifacio Pojana, following designs by architect Andrea Palladio who drew inspiration from Roman baths.
The central hall displays frescoes depicting classical figures at an altar, symbolizing the transition from war to peace in the Venetian Republic.
Visitors can access Villa Pojana on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Via Castello 43.
Five circular openings called oculi adorn the facade's serliana, incorporating Roman architectural elements into the Renaissance design.
