Description:
|
Standing close to the Villa Barbaro is a circular chapel, known as the 'Tempietto': this too was designed by Palladio. "He later designed the Tempietto Barbaro (1580-1583) at Maser, probably intended as the Barbaro family mausoleum." (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/)
