Villa Badoèr, known as La Badoèra, is a Venetian villa located in Fratta Polesine (Rovigo), designed by the architect Andrea Palladio in approximately 1554-1555 and built in the years 1556-1563 commissioned by Francesco Badoèr. It is the first villa in which the architect fully used a pronaos with a pediment on the facade, as well as the only one built in the Polesine area.
The rooms on the main floor are finely decorated with "grotesques of beautiful invention from Giallo Fiorentino".
The building, together with the other Palladian villas in the Veneto, has been included in the UNESCO world heritage list since 1996. The northern colonnade of the villa has hosted the national archaeological museum of Fratta Polesine since 2009. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
