Siltamäki

Siltamäki is located next to Kerava River, which forms the border with the city of Vantaa. The first signs of human activity in Siltamäki can be traced back to 2500-2000 BC. The existing buildings are derived from much later times; 1950 -, 1960 - and 1970's. The name of the district (siltamäki, lit. 'bridge hill') comes from the Brobacka Bridge crossing the Kerava River, which separates the Siltamäki and Tammisto districts.
