Villa Almerico Capra "La Rotonda"

Villa Almerico Capra, commonly known as "La Rotonda," is a historic Italian country house near Vicenza, designed by Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in the late 16th century. It features a symmetrical, square plan with a central circular hall topped by a classical dome. Surrounded by gardens and four porticos, each facing a main cardinal direction, it exemplifies Palladio’s balanced proportions and classical elegance. La Rotonda was influential in Renaissance architecture, inspiring neoclassical design, and remains celebrated for its harmony, timeless beauty, and integration of indoor and outdoor spaces.
