Zusammenfassung:	The Virgo detector will be a 3 km long interferometer antenna with a design sensitivity aiming at the direct observation of gravitational waves.The construction of this detector which will be installed near Pisa is under way. The data taking should start in year 2000 with a design sensitivity close to h¯≃10 −23 H z −1/2. The motivations, detector principle, main sources of noise and status of the experiment are presented.
