    "The Villas of the Round Hall (Villa La Rotonda) are one of Palladio's most famous architectural heritages. The Villas are located on the outskirts of Vicenza, northern Italy, and are designed by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea (Andrea Palladio)."
    Vicenza
    2.5km from downtown
    Highlights: The Rotunda Villa is a typical building in the late Renaissance. It is located on a small hill in Vicenza. It adopts a symmetrical method. The hall is crowned with a saucer-shaped dome, and its appearance is higher than the surrounding roofs. It can be said to be the concentrated expression of Palladio's architectural thought. The Villa Rotunda is a façade of a pediment supported by six Ionic columns, topped with three ornamental statues and flanked by a simple window. The other three façades of the Rotunda Villa are of the same design. The ground floor of the villa is used as a public space, and the second floor is a living space. The two-dimensional murals of the interior decoration form an interesting contrast with the external three-dimensional space.

    "Venice City Hall is a very classical gathering place and a very important convention center in Venice, the place was not open when visited, just a simple look outside, very interesting in a European architectural style."
    Vicenza
    896m from downtown
    Highlights: The Vicenza Town Hall is located on the Piazza della Signoria in the center of the city. It is the landmark of Vicenza, the representative work of Palladio, and the source of the earlier known "Palladio motif". Its synagogue was built in the 15th century, first as a courthouse and city hall. After part of it collapsed, Latio was entrusted with presiding over the reconstruction. Palladio's creative transformation into a charming "Palladio motif" is a classic that later generations of traffickers are eager to worship and emulate. The ground floor of the building is now a shop, and the upper floors are used to host various events and exhibitions.
