The Santa Corona complex in Vicenza comprises one of the city’s most important churches—constructed in the second half of the 13th century and enriched over the centuries with numerous works of art—and the cloisters of the former convent of the Dominicans. It forms part of the city’s museum network. The Church of Santa Corona houses Renaissance paintings and the Valmarana Chapel, designed by Andrea Palladio, while the former convent serves as the home of the Naturalistic Archaeological Museum.
