Este

Province: Padua · Region: Veneto · Population: 16,576 · Postal code: 35042

Exactly 16,576 residents call Este home, a town that operates as an active center for farming, craftwork, and industrial output in the Padua province. Positioned at the southern foot of the Euganean Hills, it sits southwest of the provincial capital.

The nearby hills serve a practical purpose beyond physical geography, acting as a natural shield that partially blocks cold north-easterly winds. This sheltered environment directly borders the town's manufacturing and agricultural zones.
