Province of Padua

Administrative territorial entity Non-metropolitan county Province of Italy

Province of Padua, Administrative division in Veneto, Italy

The Province of Padua is an administrative division in Veneto, Italy, extending from the Adriatic coast to the gentle hills in the west. It covers a mix of medieval towns, agricultural plains, and the thermal areas of the Euganean Hills.

The current boundaries of the province were set during Austrian rule and reflect the older holdings of the Republic of Venice. They have remained largely unchanged since the 19th century, even after Italian unification.

The territory contains numerous Renaissance villas, including Villa Contarini and Villa Barbarigo, along with fortified settlements like Cittadella and Montagnana.

The A4 and A13 motorways cross the area, connecting towns to Venice, Milan, and Bologna, making car access straightforward. Railway lines run parallel and offer regular train connections to larger cities.

The area is home to several walled medieval towns, including Cittadella with its fully preserved walkable parapet that visitors can still walk today. The thermal springs of Abano and Montegrotto draw from the same underground water sources used since Roman times.
