The Palazzo Porto in Piazza Castello, Vicenza, is a Renaissance palace designed by Andrea Palladio for the Porto family. Construction began shortly after 1571, but the project remained incomplete, with only two bays ever executed. The reasons for Alessandro Porto's decision to halt the work are unknown. This unfinished structure represents one of two Palladian commissions for the Porto family in the city, the other being Palazzo Porto in contrà Porti, designed for Iseppo Porto.
