Throughout the Romagna plain, Bagnara is a rare example of a fully preserved medieval castrum.
The entire defensive system that includes the Sforza fortress, the boundary wall and the moat is perfectly visible even today. The keep is considered by many scholars to be one of the best 15th century fortification works in Italy.

The toponym is thought to derive from the quality of the land in the area, once marshy and known as Silva Bagnaria, which was reclaimed by the Etruscans and subsequently colonized by the Romans.
...
The first nucleus of the city of Bagnara (old Bagnara) was built in what is now the locality of Prato di S. Andrea, one km southeast of the current city centre, around the ancient Roman castrum, of which currently all that remains is a rise and the remains of what used to be the boundary ditch. Bagnara Vecchia was in fact razed to the ground in 1222 during a battle between the Bolognese and Faentini, and the escaped inhabitants took refuge near the Santerno river, where today the center of the new Bagnara is located.
