Montegrotto Terme has ancient origins linked to the Euganean Springs, which were already considered sacred by the ancient Veneti. During the Roman era, it experienced significant development thanks to its thermal baths, but subsequently declined following the barbarian invasions. After coming under the rule of Padua, the Carraresi family and Venice, it once again flourished as a spa town renowned throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the Austrians protected the waters; in 1921 it became an autonomous municipality, in 1934 it adopted its current name, and in the post-war period it established itself as a centre for health and international tourism. It holds three designations: European Route of Historic Thermal Towns, UNESCO World Network of Water-Related Heritage Sites, and UNESCO MAB \u2013 Biosphere Reserve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
