Vicenza

Vicenza is located about 30 km to the west from Lake Garda in the historic region of Veneto. The capital of similar province has the nickname “Citta del Palladio” that points to Andrea Palladio’s work in Vicenza. He was a great architect. In the 16th century he created the emerging picture of the city. He created opulent palaces and religious buildings in a unique style that reminds of the Roman antiquity. His most important work is the great Basilica Palladiana of 1640. It stands on the main square of Vicenza – Piazza dei Signori – and impresses with its two-storied arcades. Torre di Piazza that is 80 m high joins the building. The facing “Loggia del Capitano” completes the ensemble of monuments on the square.

Teatro Olimpico and the Villa La Rotondo belong to the most popular attractions of the city. These buildings of Palladio are created in the Roman classical style. The impressive Villa La Rotonda is located on a hill outside the city and overlooks the picturesque surroundings. In addition to public buildings the visitors of the city can enjoy a large number of private palaces and houses of the 15th and 16th centuries. Palazzo Valmarana and Palazzo Chirecati as well as the Villa Schio are the most remarkable buildings of the city. Many of the important historical buildings in Vicenza were already put in UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1994.

However, Vicenza is worth visiting not only because of its numerous attractions. Its jewelry manufactures are world famous. More than 1,100 goldsmiths create their exquisite jewelry collections that are presented on annual major exhibition “Gold Exposition Vicenza Oro”. Numerous good apartments, shops and restaurants will make your vacation in Vicenza really pleasant and unforgettable.
