The Basilica Palladiana is a Renaissance building located in the Piazza dei Signori in Vicenza, Italy. Designed by the famous Italian architect Andrea Palladio, the building was originally constructed in the 16th century as a meeting place for the town's rulers.

The building has two distinct sections, each with its own architectural style. The lower level features a series of arches and columns, while the upper level has a distinctive loggia with a row of arches and an open-air terrace. The loggia is adorned with several sculptures, including the famous statue of the winged Victory.

Today, the Basilica Palladiana is used as an exhibition space and cultural center, hosting various events throughout the year. Visitors can explore the building's stunning architecture and enjoy the panoramic views from the rooftop terrace. The basilica is considered one of Palladio's masterpieces and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
