Corso Andrea Palladio Site Features

Palazzo Thiene

Heavy rusticated stonework, unusually severe for Palladio, and a reminder that his style was not one thing.

The goldsmiths' windows

Vicenza is one of Europe's great gold-working cities; the jewellers along the Corso are working businesses.

The evening passeggiata

From around six the whole street fills with people walking it end to end -- the Corso in its actual, everyday function.

Two anchors

The Teatro Olimpico at the north-eastern end, Piazza Castello at the south-western, and Piazza dei Signori opening off the middle.
