Trescore Balneario (Bergamasque: Trescùr Balneàre) is a town and comune in the Province of Bergamo, Lombardy, northern Italy. Located approximately 15 km east of Bergamo, it has always been the main centre of the lower Cavallina valley. First mentioned in a document from 996 as Trescurium, another town known as Leuceris was also shown here on maps of the Middle Ages, creating confusion as to the original name and location of the first settlement. It is known for its spas, inaugurated by the Romans (who called them thermae), which were heavily restored by Bartolomeo Colleoni starting in 1469.
