Guardian of the history of man, Colli Euganei area preserves evidences dating back to the Lower Paleolithic Age and is scattered with interesting archaeological sites, naturalistic and ethnographic museums. The Park perimeter includes the territory of 15 Municipalities combining their environmental value with the fascinating medieval fortresses, ancient stone-built towns, Venetian villas, historical gardens, hermitages, and monasteries. An ancient atmosphere characterizes the peaceful countryside set between the slopes cultivated with precious vineyards and filters rarefied among the branches of the olive trees.
