Aside from agriculture, San Colombano al Lambro also boasts several attractions including a number of churches such as the Parish Church of Saint Columbanus, and the Saint Stephen Oratory. There's also the Castle of San Colombano al Lambro, dating back to the Lombard period and the medieval village which houses several Renaissance buildings.
