Today a major cultural center, Corigliano d'Otranto's Castello de' Monti is one of the most beautiful monuments of early 16th-century military and feudal architecture in the Terra d'Otranto (Land of Otranto).

The chapel of Madonna Assunta, or 'cappella a llong' in Macchiarolo dialect, built in the 18th century, stands on a high hill, from where a good part of the Fortore valley can be admired. Some anecdotes are linked to the small rock church: The first one wants that due to its position it is considered one of the seven sisters (churches that can be seen from each other and the seventh sees Rome and therefore St. Peter).
