Palazzo Pretorio, Cividale del Friuli 1565

Completed in 1565 by the Italian architect Andrea Palladio, the Palazzo Pretorio, now the Town Hall of Cividale del Friuli, is a notable example of Renaissance architecture. The building is characterized by its symmetrical facade with a central loggia supported by a series of arches, reminiscent of classical Roman architecture. The Palladian design features a simple, yet elegant structure with a focus on proportion and balance, a trademark of Palladio's architectural style. This building is an important landmark in the city and showcases the enduring influence of Palladio's architectural principles.
