Euganean Hills

The Euganean Hills (Italian: Colli Euganei [ˈkɔlli euˈɡaːnei]) are a group of hills of volcanic origin, created by volcanic cones or lava flows, which rise to heights of 300 to 600 m from the Padovan-Venetian plain a few km south of Padua. The Colli Euganei form the first Regional Park established in Veneto (1989), occupying an area with a roughly elliptical perimeter of almost 22,000 hectares, comprising 81 hills and fifteen municipalities. In 2024 the Colli Euganei joined the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
