Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei

Battaglia Terme old town.

The park, created in 1936, is the feather in the cap of the "Pietro D'Abano" thermal resort, formerly owned by INPS and now a property of Region Veneto. It was famous for its Italian garden with pavilions and fountains, some of which fed with thermal water; for its wide walkways shaded by magnolias and lime trees; and for its lawns and patches of ashes, conifers and poplars, covering about 9 hectares. When part of the INPS thermal resorts were closed in 1991, the Park went through years of neglect and degradation.
