The Rotunda Villa is a typical building in the late Renaissance. It is located on a small hill in Vicenza. It adopts a symmetrical method. The hall is crowned with a saucer-shaped dome, and its appearance is higher than the surrounding roofs. It can be said to be the concentrated expression of Palladio's architectural thought. The Villa Rotunda is a façade of a pediment supported by six Ionic columns, topped with three ornamental statues and flanked by a simple window. The other three façades of the Rotunda Villa are of the same design. The ground floor of the villa is used as a public space, and the second floor is a living space. The two-dimensional murals of the interior decoration form an interesting contrast with the external three-dimensional space.
