Andrea Palladio began building this villa, based on the Pantheon in Rome in 1567. It was built for Paolo Almerico who had had a successful career as a priest in the Vatican. He had decided to return to his hometown of Vicenza to retire and so commissioned the villa to be built as his suburban residence.
The villa was built on top of a hill which gives a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside and Almerico’s hometown of Vicenza in the distance. Both Palladio and Almerico died before the villa was completed. Construction was taken over by architect Vincenzo Scamozzi and the villa was bought by the noble Capra family in 1591.
