Loggia and Odeo Cornaro
Loggia e Odeo Cornaro
A Renaissance loggia and music hall built in 1524, considered one of the earliest classical-style buildings in the Veneto.
Commissioned by the humanist Alvise Cornaro, the loggia was modelled on the stage of an ancient Roman theatre. The music hall has fine stucco decoration and frescoes, and is thought to have influenced Palladio's later designs. It is small, with admission of about €3 to €5. It is closed on Mondays and has limited opening hours. It is only a two- to three-minute walk from the Basilica of Saint Anthony.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun, approx. 10:00–13:00, 15:00–18:00
