Perusing Vicenza

So we had a few hours to kill a couple of weeks ago in Vicenza.  We go up there regularly for Church and weekly activities and hadn't really had a chance to peruse the local sites.  Below pictures are a quick look at what we saw...

Inner courtyard of a governmental building on one of Vicenza's oldest streets

Italian Piazza area view from the backside of the Basilica Palladiana

View of upper level of the Basilica Palladiana

Downtown Vicenza from rooftop level of Basilica Palladiana.

Belltower of Basilica Palladiana.
The blue clock is reminiscent of the one in St. Mark's Square.

Catedrale de Piazza Duomo dates back to at least 1560.
Definitely has some Gothic flare.

Teatro Olimpico dates back to the 16th century if I remember right.
Beautiful grounds...we were too late to get to see inside.  Maybe next time
