San Colombano Castle, Medieval castle in San Colombano al Lambro, Italy
The stone fortress features defensive towers and sturdy walls positioned atop a hill overlooking the surrounding Lombardy countryside and local vineyards.
The castle, originally constructed as a military stronghold, served as a residence for the influential Visconti family who hosted the poet Francesco Petrarca during their ownership.
The castle grounds host regular community events and traditional festivals that bring together local residents to celebrate the heritage of San Colombano al Lambro.
Located 40 kilometers southeast of Milan, the castle opens for guided tours that present information about its architecture, defense systems, and past inhabitants.
The castle stands as the centerpiece of the region's only DOC wine-producing area within the Metropolitan City of Milan, surrounded by 100 hectares of vineyards.
