Villa Capra, also known as La Rotonda, was designed by Andrea Palladio in 1565, representing a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. The villa's symmetrical, central plan with a dome and four identical facades reflects Palladio's profound admiration for classical Roman architecture, exemplified by the Pantheon. This iconic structure, located in Vicenza, Italy, became a seminal work in Palladian architecture and influenced generations of architects, solidifying its place as a landmark in architectural history.
