Discover Monte Sant'Angelo: where culture meets history
Walking tour and tasting in one of Gargano's most historically and artistically significant towns
Along winding road with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Manfredonia: a must-see for anyone visiting Gargano, Monte Sant'Angelo is rich in art, history and culture. Visit it with an expert guide and admire the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo: an ancient place of worship, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a beautiful example of Lombard art in Italy. Walk through the Junno neighbourhood, among low houses and narrow alleys, taking in the charm of the Norman castle, once the residence of Frederick II. Take a tasty break with some typical "ostie ripiene": two white, oval wafers filled with toasted almonds, which are caramelised in sugar and honey. The next stop is a farm immersed in nature, where you can enjoy a lunch of traditional and authentic products. After lunch, head to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore di Siponto, about 3 km from Manfredonia, a beautiful example of Apulian Romanesque architecture, alongside a 3D reconstruction of the ancient early Christian basilica. End a fascinating day on a high note.
