At the end, the church of Santa Caterina, of the 15th century painted inside.

 The Tempietto
It was commissioned by Marcantonio Barbaro in 1580 at the very end of the whole work in Maser. It was not only the private oratory but also the new church for the town.
|
 Villa Barbaro
It was commissioned by Daniele and Marcantonio Barbaro to Andrea Palladio. The Villa is situated in a very armonious way in the country around, and it is, for this reason, one of the most equilibrated works of the 16th century. Paolo Veronese is the author of the decorations inside. False architectures and perspectives widen the spaces.
