Where to stay in Anconetta
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Vicenza keeps its rooms where its monuments are. The Basilica Palladiana, the Olympic Theatre and Palazzo Chiericati all stand inside the historic city, and a visitor who books there reaches Santa Corona and Torre Bissara on foot. Anconetta offers none of that.
Its streets are housing, so travellers with business or family in the quarter usually take a bed in Vicenza and make the trip out.

About Anconetta

Torre del Tormento, Castello Scaligero and the Museo di Santa Corona round out a register the quarter shares in without hosting any part of it.
What is the history of Anconetta?
Anconetta enters the record undated. What the record keeps instead is Vicenza's own sequence: the Roman Cryptoporticus and the Roman forum paving by Palazzo Trissino, then Castello Scaligero, then the palazzi studied by the Centro internazionale di studi di architettura Andrea Palladio. Anconetta inherits all of it.
The archaeological area of Corte dei Bissari and the Monument to Fedele Lampertico belong to the same register, filed to the city rather than to any single quarter.
