The Aragonese Castle and the Swing Bridge in Taranto are two masterpieces of Italian military architecture, among the most important symbols of the city's great cultural heritage.

The Hermitage of St. Egidio in Frosolone is a pretty little church just outside the village, at the foot of Colle dell'Orso. Dedicated to the patron saint of Frosolone, Sant'Egidio, a hermit to whom numerous healings and miracles are attributed. It is of very ancient construction, the date is unknown, but in the Middle Ages it was a chapel with a hermitage and depended on the Convent of Sant'Onofrio, which stood a little higher up, garrisoned by the Antonians (a hospital and monastic-military order of the Middle Ages).
