Teatro Olimpico
The world's oldest surviving enclosed theatre, designed by Andrea Palladio and completed in 1585. The permanent stage set of a classical streetscape in forced perspective is a marvel.
Monument in Vicenza
Palladio’s signature civic building on Piazza dei Signori, wrapped in a double order of arches that became one of the most copied architectural motifs in Western history. The ground-floor loggia and piazza are free to enjoy. Temporary exhibitions inside are paid.
