The Roman cryptoporticus of Vicenza is a cryptoporticus from ancient Vicetia (today Vicenza), dating back to the end of the 1st century BC. The cryptoporticus, perfectly preserved, is accessed through the entrance located in the current Piazza Duomo and it extends under the rectory of the cathedral and Palazzo Roma. The cryptoporticus was used at least until the 4th century A.D., first as a place to cool off, then as a food pantry. It is the best preserved example of a Roman cryptoporticus of private dwelling in the north of the Po.
