Tour of Vicenza, From Local Architecture To World Heritage

All Palladian buildings have been included in the Unesco Heritage List since 1994. I live in Vicenza, it is my home town and I am so proud and happy to have the possibility to introduce my guests into this delightful city. Our walking tour includes the Olympic Theatre, the architectural masterpiece of Andrea Palladio and the first indoor theatre in the world. We'll then stroll in the ancient town through the main street, Corso Palladio, and take charming little roads to visit the Church of Saint Corona, to admire the exceptional Baptism of Jesus Christ by Giovanni Bellini, some of the most renowned gothic palaces, and the Piazza dei Signori with the Basilica. Finally, we will visit Palladio's first public building, which was recently restored and brought back to its original splendor and the Loggia of the Venetian Captain, Palladio's most famous attempt to use colored architecture.
