The Basilica Palladiana stands in the central Piazza dei Signori in Vicenza. The Council of One Hundred commissioned the well-known architect Andrea Palladio (1508 - 1580) to build it in April 1549.
Palladio worked on the Basilica all his life, but only in 1614 -- thirty years after his death -- did the building stand complete.
Nowadays it often hosts exhibitions in its large halls.
