Historic center of Vicenza, Renaissance architectural center in Vicenza, Italy.

The historic center extends around Piazza dei Signori, featuring numerous Renaissance buildings, palaces, and monuments designed by Andrea Palladio in the 16th century.

The area developed from Roman foundations through medieval times, reaching its architectural peak when Andrea Palladio transformed the city with his innovative classical designs.

The Basilica Palladiana and Teatro Olimpico stand as primary examples of Renaissance architecture, influencing building designs throughout Europe and North America.

Visitors can explore the center through guided walking tours that start at the tourist office in Piazza Matteotti and include entry to major architectural monuments.

The Olympic Theater contains the oldest surviving stage set in existence, dating from 1585 and showing the ancient city of Thebes through forced perspective.
