Palladian villas of Veneto

The Palladian villas display symmetrical architecture with columns, porticos, and central entrances spread across the Veneto countryside between Venice and Vicenza.

Andrea Palladio constructed twenty-four villas during the 16th century for Venetian merchants who needed residences combining agricultural management with social gatherings.

The villas feature internal frescoes by Italian painters and demonstrate the integration of classical Roman architecture with Renaissance residential requirements.

Visitors can explore multiple villas throughout the year, including Villa Capra La Rotonda, Villa Godi Malinverni, and Villa Barbaro with their gardens.

Each villa maintains its original relationship with the surrounding landscape through strategic positioning on hills and integration with agricultural structures.
