Santa Corona is a medieval church located in Vicenza and contains the Valmarana chapel (circa 1576) whose design is attributed to the architect Andrea Palladio. Palladio himself is buried in this church.The church was founded by the Blessed (Beato) Bishop Bartolomeo di Breganze during the 1200s to house a thorn from the supposed relic of the crown (corona) of thorns forced on Jesus during his passion. The thorn had been given to this bishop as a gift from Louis IX of France.
