Roccaforzata is the smallest municipality in the province of Taranto by resident population. It stands on a hill, the highest in the Serra di Sant'Elia, at an altitude of 145 metres. It has medieval origins and was inhabited by Albanian followers of Scanderbeg in the fifteenth century. Its name derives from the rock position that made it impregnable, and from the small Monte della Croce Park, just outside the town, you can enjoy the panorama towards the Gulf of Taranto.
