On Monte Calvo, it's best to ascend from the east by mountain bike, despite the numerous unnecessary stone steps that clutter the initial section. The trail, which descends west from the summit to connect with the Sentiero delle Anguille, would be less rideable and much more difficult overall.

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

This highlight contains three churches: The Tomba di Rotari (left), a building from the 11th and later centuries with several architectural and artistic-historical features. To the right of the portal is the apse of the 12th-century parish church of San Pietro, which collapsed in the 19th century. Next to it, in close proximity, is the 12th-century church of Santa Maria Maggiore.

It dates primarily from the second half of the 12th century and is part of a complex with two other buildings whose connection is unclear. It is known for its façade and the relief above the portal. The church's interior is basilica-style, meaning it has three naves with a raised central nave. Characteristic of the early Gothic alterations are the pointed arcades and transverse arches of the side aisles. These are supported by pillars preceded by half-columns and pilasters. The church has only three bays, and in relation to its relatively short length, the side aisles and nave are very high. In the third bay, facing the semi-hexagonal choir, the nave is vaulted by a small dome with small round-arch windows; otherwise, the nave is covered by a barrel vault with small lunettes.

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

Don't miss, if you're in the Bosco Quarto, with its hornbeams and beech trees, the Ragusa Valley, formed by one of the numerous east-west oriented tectonic fissures that mark the Gargano promontory between the Umbra Forest and the area of San Marco in Lamis. It's very easy to cycle through and can be reached by anyone with a basic understanding of cartography and navigation, yet the impression is of being immersed in an environment profoundly removed from any human presence. On the southern slope, near Coppa del Giglio and Casa Natura, runs what was the line of a Decauville a century ago.

A village perched on the promontory, Monte Sant'Angelo is a place out of time, with its white houses that seem to blend into each other. Worth a visit.

The Basilica of San Michele Arcangelo, included in the UNESCO heritage, represents one of the most important places of Michaelic worship in Italy. The apparitions of the Archangel in the 5th century AD have given rise to pilgrimages to the cave, consecrated by the celestial Archangel himself, since the Middle Ages.
