Monte Sant’Angelo is a wonderful natural balcony over the Gargano. It houses the Sacred Grotto where the Archangel Michael appeared, a destination for pilgrimages from all over the world. The Sanctuary of San Michele is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a precious testimony of Lombard art in Italy. A staircase carved into the rock leads to the Sacred Grotto, the mystical place of the apparition of the Archangel, the destination of a constant stream of pilgrims.
On the southern spur of the Gargano promontory, Monte Sant’Angelo overlooks the Tavoliere on one side and the Gulf of Manfredonia on the other.
In the Junno district, an ancient village in the town, you can walk among low houses and alleys, while the bakeries produce the typical stuffed wafers, sweets stuffed with almonds and honey. The breath of history is still alive between the Norman castle, residence of Frederick II, the Tomb of Rotari and the complex of San Francesco, where the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions of the Gargano is set up.
8 km from the town, among dozens of hermitages carved into the rock, stands the ancient Abbey of Santa Maria di Pulsano, perched on a spike overlooking the gulf, managed by a community of monks who organize iconography courses and have a printing house.
A must visit!
