Olympic Theater: A Renaissance Marvel

The Teatro Olimpico, located in Vicenza, Italy, is a remarkable example of Renaissance architecture designed by Andrea Palladio, commenced in 1580.

After Palladio's demise, his student Vincenzo Scamozzi completed the theater in 1585. Unique for its trompe-l'œil scenery, which simulates long streets receding towards a distant horizon, the theater is notable for hosting the first performance in 1585, making its stage set the oldest intact in history.
