Gropello Cairoli is a comune (municipality) with a population of 4,235 in the Province of Pavia in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is located in eastern Lomellina, a short distance from the edge of the terrace that overlooks the Ticino river's floodplain, about 35 km southwest of Milan and about 15 km west of Pavia.
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.
