The ancient town of Moretano, today called Mordano, is located in the Eastern flatland of Bologna.
Amongst the rows of grape vines and peach trees there are a number of important buildings displaying typical features of rural Romagna architecture.


Why visit it

Two twin towers stand at the entrance of the fortified center of Mordano. The towers were built at the end of the 1800s, in the place of an even older gate, inspired by the Venetian Arsenale.


When to go and what to see

The most important event is the Agricultural Fair/District Contest at the end of May.


Don't miss

In Bubano, one of the town disctricts, a defensive tower has been standing strong since the 15th century, built by the Sforza family. Today the building hosts a museum dedicated to the history and culture of this land.
