Highlights
- Santuario della Madonna di Monte Berico - This sanctuary is the result of merging two churches: one from the fifteenth century in Gothic style and another from the seventeenth century in Baroque style. Besides its stunning exterior and the artworks inside, it offers a unique panoramic view of the city.
- Giardino Salvi - Giardino Salvi is a charming green space in the city’s heart. With beautiful flowerbeds, fountains, and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot for a quiet break and a relaxing walk amidst the greenery in Vicenza’s historic center.
- Church of San Lorenzo - Located in the center of its namesake square, the Church of San Lorenzo is a splendid example of a thirteenth-century Gothic church. Constructed beginning in 1280, it served as the main place of Franciscan worship in the city for centuries.
- Cattedrale di Santa Maria Annunciata (Duomo di Vicenza) - An Italian national monument, this cathedral became Vicenza’s main church around the year 1000. Rebuilt multiple times over the centuries, its current appearance is due to mid-fifteenth-century works, including the Gothic façade.
- Corso Palladio - Stretching about 700 meters, Corso Palladio runs through the entire historic center of the city from west to east. Named after the Second World War in honor of the great architect and city symbol, it follows the path of the ancient Roman decumanus and the urban stretch of the old Via Postumia.
- Loggia del Capitaniato - World Heritage Site - Opposite the Palladian Basilica, you’ll find a palace with a large loggia and grand columns. This is the Loggia del Capitaniato, or Palazzo del Capitaniato, another masterpiece by Andrea Palladio.
- Basilica Palladiana - The very emblem of Vicenza and its most iconic building. An architectural marvel by Andrea Palladio, the Palladian Basilica now houses three exhibition spaces, including a large hall, and hosts annual architecture and art exhibitions.
- Chiesa di Santa Corona - The Church of Santa Corona has a unique name. It was built in 1260 at the request of the Municipality of Vicenza to house a significant relic: one of the thorns from Christ’s crown, gifted to Bishop Bartolomeo di Breganze by King Louis IX of France.
- The Natural History and Archaeological Museum of Santa Corona - This museum is divided into two sections. The first, focusing on natural history, highlights the characteristics of the Berici Hills. The second, archaeological, traces the history of the Vicenza area from prehistory to the Lombard era.
- Palazzo Leoni Montanari - Surviving the heavy bombings of World War II, Palazzo Leoni Montanari is now owned by the Intesa Sanpaolo group and is part of its Gallerie d’Italia circuit, a museum network featuring significant pieces from the bank’s art collection.
- Museo Civico di Palazzo Chiericati - Besides its captivating architecture, Palazzo Chiericati is a crucial historical building for Vicenza. Since 1855, it has been the home of the civic museum, housing important collections of drawings, paintings, prints, numismatics, and medieval and modern statuary.
- Teatro Olimpico - The Olympic Theater is not just another marvel in Vicenza but a unique masterpiece. It is the first and oldest permanent covered theater of the modern era and continues to host artistic performances, a tradition spanning over 450 years!
- Santa Maria Nova, Vicenza - Attributed to the renowned architect Andrea Palladio, this building is his only religious construction in the city. Used as a municipal warehouse since 2007, it reopened to the public in 2023 after the archives of the Bertoliana Civic Library were transferred.
- Museo Diocesano Vicenza - This museum houses the famous model of the “Jewel of Vicenza.”
- Torre Bissara - The tallest tower in the city!
