The fortress exhibits a unique blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles and currently houses a museum and various historical exhibitions. Beyond the castle, the town is home to the Malkocs Bey Mosque, a significant Ottoman relic that received the Europa Nostra award for its expert restoration.

Visitors can also enjoy the modern thermal spa and adventure bath, which makes the town a popular destination for wellness enthusiasts. The town's historical charm, combined with the surrounding vineyard-covered hills, provides an excellent setting for cultural and leisure tourism. It remains one of the most important cultural centers in the Baranya region.
