Palladian style
Classical villa architecture
Palladian style is an architectural approach based on the designs and principles of Andrea Palladio, a sixteenth-century Italian architect.
The style emphasizes symmetry, classical temple fronts with columns and pediments, and harmonious proportions derived from ancient Roman buildings.
Palladian architecture spread widely through Britain and colonial America, shaping countless country houses, public buildings, and plantation homes: The mansion's Palladian facade featured a grand portico.
