Villa Da Porto Colleoni, Thiene

The construction of the villa probably began in 1440-41 at the behest of Francesco Da Porto. In the sixteenth century the structure was expanded but it retained its distinguishing Gothic character. Due to its unusual appearance it is also called Il Castello Di Thiene.
