The Palladian style stems from the designs of Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio. Hallmarks include symmetrical façades, strict proportions, and the use of columns or porticoes that echo ancient Greek and Roman temples. Central blocks often flank lower wings, creating a balanced composition.
Popularized in the 16th century in Italy, Palladianism spread across Europe and into colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries, heralded by wealthy patrons. Its emphasis on harmony, geometry, and classical references made it a favorite among architects designing grand country estates and public buildings.
