Torrione di Porta Castello

Highlight • Historical Site

Vicenza's medieval western city gate is quite impressive. The foundations date from the 12th century. The name of the nearby square tells us that this location was the site of the great Ezzelini fortress in the 14th century. It was a square area with a castle and a wet vest. In the 17th century the fortress lost its defensive role and the site changed shape and purpose. The north wing was converted into a palace overlooking the old garden. Dr fortress was almost completely dismantled by the 17th and 18th centuries. The only silent witnesses from these early Middle Ages are the Torrione and the parade ground.

Teatro Olimpico di Vicenza

Highlight • Historical Site

Palladio built the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, which rivals the Teatro Olimpico in Sabbioneta for the fame of being the first free-standing autonomous theater building to be built in Europe since the end of antiquity.

Vicenza Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Vicenza Cathedral was built in the 15th century on the foundations of three previous churches. Despite severe war damage from the Second World War, the Gothic façade was reconstructed - the beautiful dome is unmistakably the work of Palladio himself. In the fairly simple interior of the cathedral there are a few paintings and a beautiful winged altar by Lorenzo Veneziano from the 14th century. There are remains of a Roman road under the sacristy.
