Villa la Rotonda - Almerico Capra

Villa Almerico Capra known as La Rotonda is a central plan Venetian villa located close to the city of Vicenza, not far from the Riviera Berica road.

Villa La Rotonda built by Paolo Almerico, who commissioned it to the architect Andrea Palladio in 1566-1567, was completed by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1606 for the two Capra brothers, who had acquired the building in 1591.

Drawings with elevation, plan and sections of the Villa Almerico Capra in Vicenza.

The Rotonda, as it became known later, is one of the most famous and imitated buildings in the history of modern architecture; it is undoubtedly the most famous villa of Palladio and, probably, of all the Venetian villas.

It has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1994.
