The castle and museum serve as vital witnesses to the traditions and history of the town and surrounding area. The museum is

Archive of memory: the last years of the history of the town of Bagnara up to the post World War II period, illustrated through a display of furniture and objects from the late 19th century to the 1960s framing archival and photographic documents narrated through multimedia films.
Other rooms in the complex are used to host cultural or educational events, while the Council Chamber space is used for permanent or temporary events, with tastings dedicated to the various initiatives.
