Built in 1100 for defensive purposes, the Passirano Castle is characterized by its imposing walls, the ancient moat on one of the sides and two semicircular towers, among which the Torre della Specola stands out, intended as an astronomical observatory in the 18th century. The Ghibelline battlements, dating back to the 17th century, give an impressive visual impact. The entrance portal, however, dates back to the 18th century.

Passirano Castle, now privately owned and visible only externally, represents a jewel, symbol of the medieval era of Franciacorta.
Built in 1100 for defensive purposes, Passirano Castle retains its massive walls, the ancient moat on one side and the two semicircular towers including the Torre della Specola, used as an astronomical observatory in the 18th century.
Both Passirano and Paderno boast the presence of a medieval castle that is still well preserved, but the history of the first of these two locations is enriched by a curiosity. The main town, before becoming such, was divided into Passirano in the evening and Passirano in the morning.
