Located along the road leading up to the upper village of Arquà Petrarca, Palazzo Contarini is a refined example of 15th-century Gothic-Venetian architecture in the Euganean Hills. The building stands out for its elegant Venetian-style facade, embellished with trifora and bifora windows with trefoil arches that recall the style of the palaces of the Serenissima. Fascinating traces of ancient Renaissance frescoes that once entirely decorated its exterior surface are still visible today. Built as a country residence by one of the most illustrious Venetian patrician families of the time, the palace testifies to the close link between the nobility of Venice and the Euganean territory, often chosen as a place for holidays, rest, and meditation. Today, perfectly integrated into the historical context of the village, it represents a stop of great historical and architectural value for those visiting the town.

The Villa Barbarigo Pizzoni Ardemani in Valsanzibio di Galzignano Terme is a Baroque masterpiece from the 17th century, world-renowned for its extraordinary historic garden, considered among the most important and intact in Europe. Designed by architect Luigi Bernini, the complex was created at the behest of the noble Venetian Barbarigo family as a solemn vow to God for having escaped the terrible plague of 1631. The park is not a simple ornamental work, but a true allegorical and spiritual path of purification. The visitor is invited to experience a journey of salvation that unfolds through scenic fountains, streams, fishponds, and over seventy statues rich in symbolism. The central and iconic element of the garden is the monumental labyrinth of centuries-old boxwood, one of the oldest and largest in the world, symbolizing the difficulties and redemption of the human soul.
