An itinerary just waiting to be discovered
Volturino
A classic mountain village, perched over one of the highest areas of the Daunian Mountains. Modernity and tradition come together here and come alive in the narrow streets of its characteristic old centre, where time seems to stand still. Don’t miss the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, the Church of San Domenico di Guzman and the Church of San Francesco d’Assisi.
Lucera
With a wealth of extraordinarily beautiful villages, it sits on top of a hill in the centre of the Tavoliere delle Puglie. In this town of a thousand sights, don’t miss a visit to the majestic Augustan Amphitheatre, one of its most precious treasures, and to the Fortress in its delightfully scenic setting.
Troia
An ancient town at the foot of the Daunian Mountains, renowned for its refined old centre. The elegant cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is a real architectural jewel worth visiting. Troia is also a place of wondrous flavours and fragrances: it is home to Troia or Nero di Troia grape, a variety that gives the wine a ruby red colour and unusual taste.Foggia
In the centre of the Tavoliere delle Puglie plain, Foggia has a rich architectural and cultural heritage, partly a legacy of the rule of Frederick II, who made it his favourite destination.Manfredonia
The city’s extraordinary archaeological heritage is housed in the National Archaeological Museum in the Swabian-Angevin Castle on a cliff top over the sea. Precious legacies of the ancient Daunian populations are kept here.
San Giovanni Rotondo
A must-visit for the faithful from all over the world as this is where Padre Pio of Pietralcina lived. Worth a visit is the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza hospital and the new San Pio Shrine.
Gargano National Park
It covers about 165,000 hectares of forest and archipelagos lapped by crystal clear water.
It is made up of several protected areas, including the Marine Reserve of the Tremiti Islands, a spectacle of nature thanks to the colours of its seabed and caves.
Baia delle Zagare
One of the most beautiful beaches in Italy, located in the Gargano National Park among the green of pine trees and centuries-old olive trees. A little corner of paradise where white cliffs overlook an emerald green sea and stacks just a few metres from the shore.
Vieste
Rich in history and tradition, Vieste is known for its characteristic white houses and narrow streets or squares that open onto the sea. Symbolic elements are the rock of Sant’Eufemia with its first-class lighthouse, standing out at sea off Punta Santa Croce, and the 26-metre-high spur of white rock that characterises the long beach at Pizzomunno.
Peschici
It dominates the sea from the top of a cliff, on the wonderful Gargano promontory. The old town centre is full of characteristic craft shops and numerous places where you can enjoy typical traditional Puglia dishes. The Bay of Peschici is renowned for its white sandy beach framed by large rocks.
Rodi Garganico
The historic centre is characterised by winding alleys, steep stairways, small arches and little gardens. The houses are delightfully harmonious—built on top of each other, each one offers a view of the splendid coastline. Overlooking the sea is the castle, the historic residence of Ferdinand of Aragon.
San Severo
Just a few kilometres from Foggia, in the town of San Severo, there is an ancient convent named after St. Francis of Assisi that houses the Civic Archaeological Museum, also known as the Tavoliere Museum. Here you can explore this area’s past thanks to a rich legacy from different archaeological areas, dating from the Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages.
Castelnuovo della Daunia
Inhabited in ancient times by populations of Greek origin, this is a characteristic village nestling in the green vegetation of the Daunian Mountains. The old centre is characterised by steep alleys alternating with wide open spaces. The three main quarters of the village are Villa, Piano della Maddalena and Piazza Plebiscito.
Pietramontecorvino
Considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Terravecchia preserves its characteristic medieval core of small alleys and squares. The elegant architectural complex of the ducal palace is worth seeing, as is the majestic Norman-Angevin tower, also known as the ‘devil’s chair’ because of the peculiar shape it has acquired over time, and the Mother Church dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta.
Selva Piana
Just a few kilometres from Motta Montecorvino, interesting sights here are a necropolis area and several settlements dating back mainly to the Roman age.
