Art cities
and places
to visit
The best art cities and the best sites to see in the vicinity of the Euganean Hills and our farmhouse. We are at the heart of the Euganean Hills and at the centre of a region rich in splendid artistic and cultural cities.
EUGANEAN HILLS: WHAT TO SEE
Many Veneto villas line our land, such as Villa dei Vescovi in Torreglia; a perfect example of structural harmony between the building and the surrounding environment. There are also castles: Castello del Catajo in Battaglia Terme, built between 1570 and 1573, at the foot of Montenuovo; Castello di Monselice, which in time evolved from a defensive tower to a Veneto villa; Castello di San Martino della Vaneza in Cervarese Santa Croce, and Castello di San Pelagio in Due Carrare, of which only the battlement tower remains intact.
MUSEUMS AND MONASTERIES OF THE
EUGANEAN HILLS: RECOMMENDED VISITS
Museums and monasteries deserve a section to themselves, as they’re rich in history and culture and are dotted throughout our region. For example the Monastero di San Daniele (Saint Daniel’s monastery) in Abano Terme, built by the Montagnone family between 1076 and 1078. Further exploration of the area surrounding the province of Padova leads us to the Abbazia di Praglia (the Abbey of Praglia) and the Museo Nazionale Atestino (Atestino National Museum).
