Architectural Complex “Il Castellazzo”
The architectural complex “Il Castellazzo” in Pombia features a well-preserved original structure dating back to 1347, situated in a dominant position in the center of Pombia.
From the southern side, one of the complex's features is visible: the supporting wall with its characteristic barbicans, made of mixed bricks and pebbles.
There is no certainty about the original purpose of the complex; however, three hypotheses exist:
- Noble Palace: The first hypothesis suggests that it was the residence of the “Dominus,” which corresponds to the imposing character of the complex.
- Agricultural Operation: The second hypothesis suggests that the complex was used as an agricultural operation for the benefit of the Borromeo noble family; in one of the cellars used for storage, a large stone slide can be seen, which was used to bring agricultural products into the cellar.
- Fortress: A third hypothesis, based on the dominant location, relates to a fortress built to defend the settlement, facing the valley of the Rio Riale, known in toponymy as “vallis buschaliorum.”
Location and Recreational Opportunities
Near the property, there are two golf courses (Agrate Conturbia and Bogogno), Malpensa Airport is 20 minutes away and Lake Maggiore is also 20 minutes away.
