An almost-perfect copy of Palladio's Villa Rotunda, built by Lord Burlington, this is the finest surviving example of Palladian architecture in Britain. Palladianism promoted a return to the standards, practices and style of Andrea Palladio, the 16th century Italian architect, who in turn was inspired by Classical architecture. It is situated in historic Italianate landscaped gardens, with statues, temples, urns and an obelisk. There is an audio-visual display, a shop and guided tours with prior booking.
