In the Municipality of Monteu da Po there is the archaeological site of Industria, a Roman city built in a strategic position on the right bank of the Po, almost at the confluence with the Dora Baltea, between the end of the first century BC. and the beginning of the 1st century AD, following the Romanization of the area which had previously been inhabited by Celtic-Ligurian peoples.
Industria owes its importance to the function of a commercial center on the banks of the Po and, starting from the second half of the 1st century AD, to the sanctuary devoted to the eastern gods of Isis and Serapis, source of wealth and fame. Its port on the river was also a determining factor for the development of the art of the processing of bronze, as it was by river that iron and copper mined in the Aosta Valley arrived in the city and the products intended for exportation were transported.
The sacred area with the two temples dedicated to Isis and Serapis, wells, meeting rooms, houses for priests, altars, and part of the surrounding blocks occupied by houses and handcraft shops along the roadways are visible in the archaeological site.

The identification of the remains of the site with the Roman city mentioned by Pliny the Elder dates back to the 1700s; excavations and research continued in the 1800s and up until the mid-1900s. Only later did new studies on the planimetry and the findings lead to the identification of the sacred area, whose buildings had previously been interpreted as public places.
