The town of Gropello Cairoli, which gained city status due to historical merit, is mainly centered around the former state road 596 (known as the Cairoli road) leading to Pavia, a route heavily trafficked, especially due to the presence of the A7 highway exit. The town is one of the few examples in Europe of a medieval strassendorf (a village developed along a road). In 2000, a bypass was inaugurated to divert traffic away from the town center.
A notable feature of Gropello Cairoli is the presence of two churches, San Rocco and the parish church dedicated to San Giorgio, which mark the main road from east to west.
