The Euganei Hills are of Volcanic origin; the first eructions of Basalt ic Magma occurred during the Eocene period, when the area was submerged under the Sea . Later, in the Oligocene period, eructions of more viscous Rhyolite s, Trachyte s, and Latite s created the typical Volcanic Cone s. The Colli Euganei remained a small Archipelago until the general rising that generated the entire '' Pianura Padana '' during the Quaternary period. The area is now a Protected Regional Park . Near the Hills are the towns of Este and Monselice . EXTERNAL LINKS |
