square-based tower whose nucleus dates back to the fourteenth century. Around the tower, the remains of a wall with a megalithic base are visible, within which the remains of roads, houses and a basilica-style church with a semicircular apse have emerged, which is remembered under the title of the Annunziata. The village, mysteriously abandoned in the fifteenth century (did its inhabitants move to where Conversano stands today?), however has more ancient origins, dating back to the Bronze Age, as evidenced by some finds from the Peucetian era. According to some, Castiglione could correspond to the locality reported in the Tabula Peutingeriana with the toponym Ad Veneris.

Masseria Purgatorio-Di Donna (Bigetti) and Purgatorio rural chapel built in the 17th century in Contrada Bigetti Rutigliano (BA)

the Panicelli farmhouse, a structure very similar to that of a castle due to the presence of four bastions. A building dating back to the 15th century, characterized by a considerable height and a particular defensive structure.

The ruins of the medieval church of Sant'Apollinare bear witness to the exceptional wealth of signs, stratified one on the other over the centuries, present in the territory of Rutigliano. The building is difficult to date even if its typology, with a single hall with aligned domes and lateral niches, quite widespread in the Apulian and Mediterranean area in the pre-Romanesque period, allows us to date the architectural organism in a period between X and XI century. It is probable that it is the most ancient Apulian example of a church with aligned domes, probably contextual to the small temple of Seppanibale in the countryside of Fasano, dated to the 10th century on the basis of the still surviving frescoes. The numerous archaeological finds made in the area of Sant'Apollinare, and in the immediate vicinity (contrada Purgatorio), also allow us to certify the presence of a settlement in the area of the church between the 6th century BC and the 10th-11th century.
