Neviera della Fajarana

This is an ancient way of "conserving snow" inside a specially prepared depression in the ground which allowed the pressed snow to remain for a longer period of time to be used for refrigeration purposes elsewhere.

Excellent panoramic point from which you can enjoy a view that ranges from the Gulf of Manfredonia to the Maiella. From here you can also see the town of San Marco in Lamis and the convent of San Matteo.
