begun 1550

The front facadeNow the Museum of Vicenza, this bulding was once completely surrounded by water. Like the Basilica, it follows classical prototypes with the Doric order on the bottom register and the Ionic on the second floor. Similarly, this civic building has open loggias. The strong horizontality is countered by statues on the flat roof which punctuate the vertical elements. |
