Gallarate, Administrative commune in Province of Varese, Italy.
Located 238 meters above sea level, Gallarate extends across the Alto Milanese region with a population of 54,000 residents within the Milan metropolitan area.
The settlement transformed from a Gaulish village to a Roman stronghold, later becoming the capital of Seprio county after the destruction of Castelseprio in 1287.
The MAGA Museum houses 5,000 pieces of modern and contemporary art, demonstrating the evolution of artistic expression in northern Italian communities.
The railway station functions as a central junction connecting multiple regional lines, providing direct access to Milan and other major cities in Lombardy.
During the 19th century, Gallarate developed into a textile manufacturing center, which shifted the local economy from agricultural to industrial production.
