Arcore

Arcore is a commune in the Province of Monza and Brianza situated along the Lecco-Milan railway line in northern Italy. The town sits roughly 20 kilometers northeast of Milan and is served by two railway stations that connect it to surrounding areas.

The settlement first appeared in written records during the 10th century under the jurisdiction of the Pieve of Vimercate. Over time it developed into a transport hub once railway construction arrived in the 19th century.

Villa Borromeo d'Adda shapes the character of the town with its manicured gardens open to visitors. The estate now serves as an administrative center while showing ongoing art restoration work that visitors can observe from the grounds.

The two railway stations make it easy for visitors to reach various destinations across the region. It helps to check before arriving which station serves your intended direction, as each handles different route lines.

An ancient Roman marble slab was discovered here during medieval times and now rests in the Archaeological Museum of Milan. This finding reveals that the area had been inhabited since Roman times.
