In 2011, the pilgrimage site of Monte Sant'Angelo was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the seven components of the Lombard site in Italy, Places of Power (568 to 774 AD). The historic site and its surroundings are also protected by the Gargano National Park. The sights are well described in the following link: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Sant%E2%80%99Angelo

San Michele – the main church of Monte Sant'Angelo – is a grotto church, a church type particularly favored by the Normans in their newly conquered territories. All that can be seen at the top of the mountain is the church's octagonal bell tower (1273/74) and the two-part entrance hall (1395). The church itself is located inside the mountain. San Michele is a pilgrimage church dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Sant%E2%80%99Angelo

The Laghetto d'Umbra is a rainwater-fed lake. The turtles living here were released, but they seem to thrive here.

Impressive pebble beach bay beneath high cliffs. No access from the north or south, as the beach ends in both directions at cliffs that reach into the water. Above the cliffs are large hotel complexes (resorts), which are completely fenced in! An elevator leads from the complexes on the cliffs down to the beach. Otherwise, it's extremely difficult to get to the beach or the bay! We didn't understand Vera and Sammy's two tips! We nevertheless reached the bay in February, taking complicated and arduous routes (path to the resort, always following the fences back in a curve to the northwest, descending to the closed path to the bay in the opposite direction to the southeast) and then following paths back up to the road north of the bay. We have documented this complicated route in a separate section: "Access to Zagare Bay." Good luck with "copying" or "finding your own way"!

On the way to the resort, you'll actually only encounter fences (in winter) or, during the season, you'll probably have to pay an entrance fee. The other path, further east from the SP53 road to the bay, is closed at the road level. There are rather arduous ways to reach the bay (path to the resort, always following the fences back in a curve to the northwest, then descending to the closed path to the bay in the opposite direction to the southeast). It can be quite annoying, though!
