Arcella is the name of a district in Padua, located close to the Milan-Venice railway, north-east of Padua's central station. However, urban expansion taking place since the 1950s, made the boundaries between the localities nearby imperceptible. Arcella is situated 2½ km northeast of INAF Osservatoro Astronomico di Padova.
