Villa Valmarana, Renaissance manor house in Lisiera, Italy.
Villa Valmarana is a Renaissance manor house in Bolzano Vicentino with a two-level design. The building features an Ionic columned hall on the ground floor and a broad gable roof above the main entrance.
Construction of the manor began in 1563 under the direction of the renowned architect Andrea Palladio. The original design was altered after the patron's death, departing from Palladio's initial plans.
The villa belongs to a collection of Renaissance residences built across the Veneto region by wealthy families. It demonstrates how the architectural ideals of the period shaped the homes of the regional nobility.
The manor is located at Via della Ferrovia 2 and can be viewed from the street year-round without restrictions. Visitors can observe the exterior and its architectural features at any time.
Palladio's original drawings from his 1570 treatise show a different design from what was eventually built. This variation occurred due to construction modifications and changes in ownership during the building process.
