The Castello di San Colombano (or Castello Belgioioso) stands in the medieval village famous for its vineyards and for being an exclave in the province of Milan. Dating back to the 6th century and rebuilt by Barbarossa in 1164, it is divided between a private area (the keep) and a communal one (the fortified village).

It's impossible to think of passing through here without visiting the town's castle. Its origins seem to date back to the 6th century but over time it underwent numerous transformations and rearrangements, resulting from the needs of the owners who followed one another over the centuries. First there was Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, who destroyed the previous castle to rebuild it. There were the Visconti-Sforzas and finally the Belgioioso family. The structure of the castle is divided into two parts: on one side the shelter, i.e. the area where daily life took place, on the other the fortress, with military functions and for this reason located high up on the hillside.

It is a house with a farmhouse, attached to other buildings that are now empty or have become homes but which were once a convent of the Diocese of Pavia. The building was built shortly after 1881 when the entire area was purchased by the bishop of Pavia, Mons. Agostino Riboldi, as a holiday home and from there began restoration work and adaptation to the new use.

It is the social and cultural center of the life of the village and its events are closely linked to those of the dominations that have taken place in the area. After destroying a previous center set up during the clashes with the city of Milan (1158), the German emperor Frederick I known as Barbarossa, aware of the strategic importance of San Colombano, decided to rebuild the castle in 1164.

The "Colle di San Colombano" rises between the Lodi plain and the lower Pavia area, in an area located about 40 km south of Milan and 30 km east of Pavia. The soil, which alternates sandy areas with limestone areas, the subsoil rich in minerals (as evidenced by the spring waters of the Terme di Miradolo and the Mineral Fonti Gerette di San Colombano), the exposure to the sun of its slopes, make the Colle an environment ideal and suited for the cultivation of vines.
