Andrea Palladio - Villa Capra known as La Rotonda, Vicenza, 1566

Villa Almerico Capra known as La Rotonda (also known as Villa Capra Valmarana) is a central-plan Venetian villa located close to the city of Vicenza, not far from the Riviera Berica road. Built by Paolo Almerico, who commissioned Andrea Palladio in 1566-1567, it was led by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1605 for the two Capra brothers, who had acquired the building in 1591.
