This monumental complex was born as a defensive bulwark. Towards the end of 1300, it lost its military function to become a manor house within the land purchased by the Brivios, nobles of Germanic origin whose wealth came from agricultural activities. The name of Rocca derives from the fact that originally the building was one of the defensive bulwarks erected along the Milan - Lodi road in the early Middle Ages, at the time of the wars that pitted the Municipality of Milan against the Municipality of Lodi. The current building was built in 1600 by the Brivio marquises on the ruins of the pre-existing castle. It was at the center of important war episodes, such as the Battle of Marignano in 1515 and in 1859, when on 8 June Napoleon III and Vittorio Emanuele II entered Milan victorious, defeating the Austrians. From an architectural point of view it is a baroque palace built with a rather elaborate scheme: the north-west part houses a noble chapel, rich in typically seventeenth-century stucco and gilding. The entrance has a large portal with a beautifully crafted wrought iron gate, the work of a craftsman from Melegnano from the 1700s, rich in scrolls and arabesques. Since 1996 it has been public property and hosts painting exhibitions, classical music concerts and conferences of national importance in its halls with frescoed ceilings and large fireplaces.

Cycling along the Muzza is beautiful and relaxing, you find this point which is excellent for taking a break.

Sixteenth-century fortress immersed in the countryside between San Giuliano and Melegnano. It can be reached either by taking a pleasant dirt road through the fields or by a more comfortable asphalt road. It is not always open so don't be disappointed if the gate is closed

Rocca Brivio is a noble country palace, located near the Lambro river in the municipal area of San Giuliano Milanese. A castle had stood on the site of the fortress since the Middle Ages, placed in a dominant position to guard the road from Milan to Lodi. In the sixteenth century the castle became the property of the Brivio marquises; it was Luigi Brivio who had it demolished around 1680, building the palace in its definitive form on its foundations, which, although retaining the name of "fortress", lost all defensive functions.

The fourteenth-century basilica of San Bassiano is the only building left standing in Laus Pompeia, today Lodi Vecchia, which survived the destruction perpetrated by the Milanese army in 1158. Emperor Frederick Barbarossa decided to rebuild Laus a few kilometers away, on the Eghezzone hill and founded the new city: Laus Nova, today's Lodi. In addition to the basilica, it is also interesting to visit the archaeological remains of the old city.
