The age-old fortress dominates the hill: after a careful restoration it now houses the University Residential Centre of the Alma Mater Studiorum of Bologna and is the seat of the inter-religious museum.

Bertinoro and Romagna are a mine of oeno-gastronomic products: the "pit cheese", with unique aroma characteristics; the "squacquerone", a soft paste cheese; the "piadina", sort of local bread; the bread of Romagna; the "savor", a sort of jam made of vine most and fruit in season: nuts, pears, dried fruit, figs, candied fruit and so on; the extra virgin olive oil.

Worth mentioning is also an old pork-butcher's tradition which is revaluing the salami and the various kinds of cold meat (sausages) made from a breed of pig named the Mora Romagnola. Bertinoro is also well-being, as the thermal baths at Fratta -for ages renowned for its water qualities- are under renovation.
