Palazzo Chiericati in Vicenza was designed by Andrea Palladio for Count Girolamo Chiericati, and his son Valerio continued the work. The text says work began in 1550 and the palazzo was not fully finished until about 1680, possibly by Carlo Borella. A reference title lists only 1550, which conflicts. The infobox gives no construction dates.
The article calls the style Renaissance. It describes three bays with a slightly projecting center, loggias on the piano nobile in the end bays, Doric columns below, Ionic above and statuary on the roofline. A triple staircase raises it to guard against floods. It names no materials or dimensions.
It has housed the Museo Civico since 1855 and became part of a World Heritage Site in 1994, which was expanded and renamed in 1996. It is the city's museum and art gallery. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
