This building, also called by various permutations of the name Villa Almerico Capra Valmarana (after its past owners) is usually known simply as La Rotonda for its domed form. Designed by Andrea Palladio in the 1560s (although it wasn't finished for several decades), the building is a perfect expression of Palladio's love of symmetry and classical forms. The villa is a cube, with a temple-style facade on each side, topped by a central dome.
