Parco Querini, Historical public park in Vicenza, Italy

Parco Querini is a landscape garden in Vicenza featuring classical design elements including tree-lined pathways and a central pond. A temple with Ionic columns stands beside the water, serving as the focal point of the entire layout.

The site was transformed in the early 1800s when a private owner converted former monastic grounds into a designed garden. The temple structure was added later and has defined the park's character ever since.

The park takes its name from the Querini family, who shaped this area of Vicenza for generations. Visitors can observe how the classical design reflects the tastes and values that local patrician families brought to their estates.

The park has four entrances: Rodolfi on viale Rodolfi near San Bortolo hospital, a footbridge linking it directly to the hospital, Araceli on viale Rumor near the Araceli church, and the small Porta Papa gate on viale Rumor. The original entrance from Palazzo Querini is closed, as is the first stretch of the avenue. A fitness trail runs along part of the perimeter.

At the foot of the Ionic temple, recent landscaping uncovered an old ice house: winter ice from the pond was stored there to chill food and drinks in warm months. The ice house is still filled with debris and cannot be entered.
