Palazzo Porto

Palazzo Porto is a palazzo built by Andrea Palladio in ContrĂ  Porti, Vicenza, Italy. It is one of two palaces in the city designed by Palladio for members of the Porto family (the other being Palazzo Porto in Piazza Castello). Commissioned by the noble Iseppo da Porto, just married (about 1544), this building had a rather long designing stage and a longer and troublesome realization, partially unfinished.

Since 1994 UNESCO has been included the palazzo, with other examples of palladian architecture in Vicenza, in a World Heritage Site City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto.
