History
Candia Lomellina has an ancient and interesting history. It became part of the domains of Pavia in 1164, but it is presumed that it already belonged to a local family, the Confalonieri di Candia. Over the centuries, the feud of Candia passed through the hands of numerous noble families, until it was acquired by the House of Savoy in 1707. In 1859 it became part of the province of Pavia and in 1928 the suppressed municipality of Terrasa joined Candia Lomellina.
