    Villa Capra "La Rotonda"

    Villa Capra "La Rotonda"

    Villa Capra "La Rotonda" is a 16th‑century hilltop villa just outside Vicenza, Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio for the cleric Paolo Almerico and completed after Palladio’s death by Vincenzo Scamozzi. Distinguished by its perfectly symmetrical plan with temple-front porticoes on all four sides and a domed central hall, it has exercised a profound influence on European and American architecture and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage property "City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto."
