Seriate

Seriate is a commune in the Province of Bergamo located beside the city of Bergamo along the Serio river. The town combines residential neighborhoods with areas that follow the river's course, creating a mixed landscape of homes, streets, and waterside spaces.

The name Seriate first appeared in documents from the 10th century, possibly deriving from Sarius, the Latin name for the Serio river. Archaeological evidence shows the area was inhabited since Roman times.

The Church of SS Redentore shapes the town center with its baroque style and ornate decorative details from the 1700s. It serves as a gathering place for residents and reflects the religious traditions that have guided community life here for centuries.

The area is easily accessible by train from Bergamo or larger cities thanks to direct rail and highway connections. Visitors can explore the town on foot or use local buses to move between different neighborhoods and areas.

The Paderno district contains archaeological remains from the 2nd to 4th centuries, showing it was one of the earliest inhabited areas in the region. These ancient traces are hidden within the modern neighborhood, revealing that people lived here long before the Middle Ages.
