A church dedicated to Saints Cosma and Damiano in Castellana, a hamlet of Gropparello, is already documented in pastoral visits of the 16th century. The current building was built in 1937 in neo-medieval style, designed by the Piacenza engineer Francesco De Benedetti. Elements of Gothic and Romanesque style are used in the exposed brick gabled façade. The bell tower stands alone on the right of the apse. With a square plan, in exposed stone on three orders, it has a bell cell open on all four sides with round arches. The cell is covered with a cone-shaped terracotta roof.
The interior of the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano in Castellana is divided into three naves; the marble altar and the wooden crucifix are interesting
