The Arch of Germanicus, built around 18-19 AD in Saintes, is a two-bay road arch erected in honor of the Emperor Tiberius, his son Drusus, and his nephew Germanicus, financed by a local notable, Gaius Julius Rufus. It marked the main entrance to the Roman city of Mediolanum Santonum, at the bridge over the Charente, organizing traffic in both directions. This sober monument, nearly 15 meters high, is adorned with fluted pilasters and composite capitals, among the oldest in the West. Saved from demolition in 1843 thanks to Prosper Mérimée, it was moved and restored, becoming a major symbol of Romanization and one of the best-preserved Gallo-Roman remains in Saintes. Listed as a historic monument since 1905, it testifies to the importance of the city during the Roman era.

The Capuchin Castle in Tonnay-Charente, built on a former convent founded in the 17th century by the Rochechouart-Mortemart family, served as a convent, a temporary town hall during the Revolution, and was then sold as national property. It has had several lives, including as property of the Red Cross, and today houses a medical-professional institute. Its current architecture dates from the late 19th century, with a rectangular plan flanked by towers, and it is only visible from the outside.
