This fabulous building is not typical Palladian, but Venetian style. Windows are beautiful and it has lovely door-frame as well.
Where: Next to Piazza Dei Signori
Piazza dei Signori - at afternoon it's sleepy place (siesta?) with very few visitors. Originally being a Roman Forum, Piazza still used for festivals. There are few points of interest: two columns dating from the Venetian period, the slender Torre di Piazza -82m/271ft, built in 1174 and Basilica Palladiana.
The Civic Art Gallery (pinacoteca) is in the Palazzo Chiericati, designed by Andrea Palladio in 1550.
Teatro Olimpico (Andrea Palladio's final work) is probably the most remarcable sight in Vicenza. Today, it's the oldest surviving indoor theatre in Europe - it is still used for plays, concerts, and festival performances.
