In 1863, the municipality officially appended "Brianza" to its original name of Carate. Today, this Lombard community of 17,684 residents sits directly on the course of the Lambro river, maintaining strong geographical ties to the surrounding valley.
The town's territory is incorporated into the Parco regionale della Valle del Lambro, with elevations ranging between 230 and 300 meters above sea level. The regional park provides an accessible green corridor for anyone wanting to walk the riverbanks.
