The Villa Barbaro is located on the Via Cornuda, 7, 31010, in Maser. Featuring illusionistic pantings inside and a façade with the circles and eagles of the Barbaro family, this building was largely planned and executed by the Barbero brothers with Palladio's assistance.
Behind the villa is a Nymphaeum decorated in a classical style. The pediment is a stretched triangle with alternating niches in hemispherical and rectangular shapes beneath. The pool beneath serves as a kitchen pond and runs off by the kitchen garden to water it.
There is also a Tempietto connected to the villa. In this, the Barbaro brothers and Palladio were definitely looking to the Pantheon for inspiration. The Tempietto is set up on a podium with a domed central space and a large, triangular pediment. The belltowers add a nice detail to the building.
