Castle

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Monte Sant'Angelo castle is a must-see attraction in the Gargano area, offering a sublime view of the surroundings. The medieval center with its charming white-washed houses is perfect for exploring on foot. The castle itself may not be grand, but it holds an interesting history and provides stunning panoramic views. Inside, visitors can explore various rooms and enjoy ambient music while learning about its past.
So first I have to say I was here during the winter months so there was no wait for the lines and very few people so I was very, very lucky. But 10000% when you are stopping by to see the castle you have to see St.Michele because it's extremely beautiful and such a gorgeous place to see.

Very nice historical building. Entrance fee only €2! We really enjoyed the walk and beautiful views to the city and sea. Recommend visiting.

Very Nice Castle at the top of the city. The view is sublime. I went during the summer and it was kinda hot but it is worth visiting it if you are around the Gargano area. Do not expect a castle like Carcassonne in France or something fancy and huge.
NICCOLO N — Google review
This is a very beautiful castle to walk around and learn about its interesting history. There are also great views from many different spots around it! I recommend checking out all the random doors and going through all the little tunnels.

Castle located in a wonderful city, that attracts you with old tiny houses and churches. Colors of the city are amazing. Castle itself is not must to see, but from it you can enjoy the scenery and become a time traveler.

Basilica Santuario di San Michele Arcangelo is a hilltop Catholic sanctuary dedicated to the archangel Michael, featuring a complex of buildings surrounding a cave. The site has expanded over the centuries, incorporating various religious structures around its original shrine. Visitors can admire the distinctive octagonal bell tower built in 1282 and explore the 17th-century pilgrims' graffiti as they descend the staircase inside.
This was the most important place for me to see whilst on our two week vacation to Italy. I cannot put into words how simple and beautiful the cave is. When we arrived there was a mass in progress so I didn’t get any pictures of the cave itself unfortunately. The little village is like something from a fairytale.It was a little difficult to get to Monte Sant’Angelo from Foggia but we just had to visit this beautiful church.
Justin — Google review
I loved it here, being in prayer almost for a week, the staff knew me very well, even the priests and nuns (: It was an honor to worship and see the different Mass of languages, only wish they had English Mass though, it’s very rare. Other than that, be aware …it’s best to go early morning, when they open or when they are about to close. It can get very crowded, especially the weekends. St. Micheal archangel favorite color is RED! Don’t forget to buy a chaplet and pray on the other part where he appeared. Stay blessed - Esme from America 📿✝️🫂

8/29/2025: I am on Jubilee Pilgrimage with 37 of my fellow pilgrims. Today I saw an image... Who do you see? What I can clearly see is the rock image of 🙏 St. Padre Pio depicted on the masonry wall looking down at the entrance way of the original St. Michael the Archangel Church. I can see his eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and his beard. The caretaker for 30-years never saw this image until today. I wanted to share this image to everyone in the world... God bless us all!

Definitely a must- visit sacred place. It was too crowded due to the Feast and the Jubilarian Year. Yep! Not May 8th but Sept 29th. Prepare to descend and return in stairs.
Nellie B — Google review
Beautiful place. There were too many tourists. I would have liked some quiet to pray, but a guide was giving a lecture to a group of tourists in the grotto. I think that was inappropriate. There should be no talking in that area. I waited 45 minutes for them to leave and it was better when they had left. I feel there should be more respect in holy places. Definitely a good place to go. Not open early for prayer - opened at 8:30 a.m. We participated in the procession through the town for the feast of Corpus Cristi.
L S — Google review
Really beautiful and unique place to visit. You can feel good energy! Perfectly kept with a lot of descriptions to prepare your visit and create your time for meditating and praying. If you enter the grotto you’ll also receive a plenary and perpetual indulgence. The only small minus is the closing time for lunch break. I’ve visited many sanctuaries and monasteries and did a lot of pilgrimages and I’ve never seen something like that in a sacred place. Especially, as this is a destination is for pilgrims!! Be sure to organize your trip accordingly and do not arrive during the break to ensure to have the time to visit the entire complex (museums also close for lunch break!!!)

(Translated by Google) A little gem (at a very modest price), a must-see for art history enthusiasts (especially medieval art). Extremely well-preserved. I recommend seeing it before leaving. Remains of a baptistery with an adjoining church. (Original) piccola perla (ad un prezzo modestissimo), imperdibile per appassionati di storia dell'arte (specie medievale). tenuta benissimo. Consiglio di vederla prima di ripartire. resti di battistero con annessa chiesa.
Linda A — Google review
(Translated by Google) The history of San Giovanni in Turba is closely linked to the origin of its name. “Turba” comes from the Latin “turbare,” which means “to stir.” According to tradition, this name was given to the church because it was said to have been built on the site where John the Baptist was buried after his beheading. The term "disturb" therefore reflects the turmoil and turmoil surrounding his death and his subsequent cult. This name has been witnessed since the 10th century and has been maintained over the centuries, giving rise to the current name of the church of San Giovanni in Turba. (Original) La storia di San Giovanni in Turba è strettamente legata all'origine del suo nome. "Turba" deriva dal latino "turbare", che significa "agitare". Secondo la tradizione, questo nome è stato assegnato alla chiesa perché si dice che fosse stata costruita sul luogo in cui Giovanni Battista fu sepolto dopo la sua decapitazione. Il termine "turbare" quindi riflette il tumulto e l'agitazione che circondarono la sua morte e il suo culto successivo. Questo nome è testimoniato sin dal X secolo e si è mantenuto nel corso dei secoli, dando origine alla denominazione attuale della chiesa di San Giovanni in Turba.
Fabio C — Google review

There is a minimum spend but if you like local history it's a must visit!

(Translated by Google) You enter from what remains of the church of San Pietro. Attached to the nearby church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the baptistery was mistakenly considered the tomb of a Lombard king. The layout of the building is truly impressive: from a square base, the shape gradually becomes ovoid as you look up. The bas-reliefs on the capitals are interesting. (Original) Si entra da quello che rimane della chiesa di San Pietro. Annesso alla vicina chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore, il battistero è stato considerato per errore la tomba di un re longobardo. Fa davvero impressione l'impianto dell'edificio che da base quadrata, via via salendo con lo sguardo la forma diventa ovoidale. Interessanti i bassorilievi sui capitelli.

The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, along with the baptistery of San Giovanni in Tumba, comprises the grand architectural complex of San Pietro. Situated in Monte Sant'Angelo, a picturesque village within the province of Foggia, this Catholic church showcases mesmerizing eleventh-century frescoes that depict revered figures such as Saint Francis, Saint George, Saint Michael, and Saint Sebastian.
(Translated by Google) The church of Santa Maria Maggiore together with the baptistery of San Giovanni in Tumba, forms the monumental complex of San Pietro. They are located in Monte Sant'Angelo, in the province of Foggia, a small village as beautiful as the church itself where you can still see the 11th century frescoes, including San Francesco, San Giorgio, San Michele and San Sebastiano. (Original) La chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore assieme al battistero di San Giovanni in Tumba, forma il complesso monumentale di San Pietro.

Adlane B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Like all churches, Santa Maria Maggiore in Monte Sant'Angelo was built on pre-existing structures and remodeled and modified over the centuries. There are Byzantine frescoes inside, visible more through cell phone photos than 'live'. The bas-reliefs and portals are interesting. It is near the Sanctuary and adjacent to the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Tumba. Mandatory visit, but they are places that should be enhanced and revitalized, with maintenance interventions and having greater usability of historical information (interactive panels/audio headphones). (Original) Come tutte le chiese, anche Santa Maria Maggiore a Monte Sant'Angelo é stata realizzata su preesistenze e rimaneggiata e modificata nel corso dei secoli. Sono presenti all’interno affreschi bizantini, visibili piú attraverso foto fatte dal cellulare che 'dal vivo'. Interessanti i bassorilievi ed i portali. É nei pressi del Santuario ed adiacente al Battistero di San Giovanni in tumba. Visita obbligatoria, ma sono luoghi che andrebbero valorizzati e rivitalizzati, con interventi di manutenzione ed avendo maggiore fruibilità alle info storiche (pannelli interattivi/cuffie audio).

(Translated by Google) Over the centuries, the church underwent several modifications and expansions, reflecting the evolution of the architectural style. During the Middle Ages, the church became an important place of veneration for the faithful who sought the protection and intercession of Saint Michael. Its strategic position on Monte Sant'Angelo made the church a point of reference for pilgrims heading to the Holy Land. Absolutely worth a visit even if it should be reevaluated... (Original) Nel corso dei secoli, la chiesa subì diverse modifiche e ampliamenti, riflettendo l'evoluzione dello stile architettonico. Durante il Medioevo, la chiesa divenne un importante luogo di venerazione per i fedeli che cercavano la protezione e l'intercessione di San Michele. La sua posizione strategica sul Monte Sant'Angelo rendeva la chiesa un punto di riferimento per i pellegrini diretti in Terra Santa. Merita assolutamente una visita anche se andrebbe rivalutata...

(Translated by Google) I forgot I was in 2021 when I walked through the church entrance. These sacred walls are so evocative, in their entirety, essentiality. Beyond the works, focus on the walls: on the main facade some scenes of pilgrims on top of boats have been graffitied. It is the sign of people coming from who knows where, probably headed towards the Holy Land. (Original) Ho dimenticato di essere nel 2021 varcando l'ingresso della chiesa. Sono così suggestive queste mura sacre, nella sua integralità, essenzialità. Oltre le opere, soffermatevi sulle pareti: sulla facciata principale sono stati graffiti alcune scene di pellegrini sopra delle imbarcazioni. È il segno di gente proveniente da chissà dove, probabilmente diretta verso la Terra Santa.

This is where you come when you've run out of time or just dont have the means to drive deeper into the gargano. The beach is small, the water gets dirty fast, and the people charging you 5 Euro for parking are VERY questionable. Pretty sure they're not allowed to do that but nobody is standing up to them. It's also going to be insanely hot until around 3pm when the shade starts coming in. If you go here, bring shade, bring refreshments, and bring a notebook to plan a better try tomorrow.

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Museo delle Arti e delle Tradizioni Popolari del Gargano Giovanni Tancredi is definitely worth visiting as it offers a diverse collection of objects and provides stunning panoramic views of the town. While it would have been preferable if they had included more informative placards, it's important to note that this museum is relatively small in size.
(Translated by Google) Really not bad! Well done. It was founded in 1925 by the historian Giovanni Tancredi. It is located in the ancient 14th century Franciscan convent. Its current arrangement, created by the architect. Pietro Batini under the scientific direction of Giovanni Battista Bronzini, was conceived in such a way as to allow the exhibition of typologically varied material, representative of the entire Gargano territory. The museum houses costumes, furnishings, work objects, craft products and goldsmithery that testify to the art, life and work of the Gargano populations; the materials were largely collected by the ethnologist and historian Tancredi. The exhibition is dynamic and, according to a narrative approach, is arranged for a continuous exchange and exhibition movement of moments and aspects of the life and work of the poorer classes in their various transformations. (Original) Davvero niente male! Ben fatto. Fu fondato nel 1925 dallo storico Giovanni Tancredi. Esso è situato nell'antico convento francescano del XIV secolo. La sua attuale sistemazione, realizzata dall'arch. Pietro Batini sotto la direzione scientifica di Giovanni Battista Bronzini, è stata concepita in modo da consentire l'esposizione di un materiale tipologicamente vario, rappresentativo dell'intero territorio garganico. Nel museo sono custoditi costumi, arredi, oggetti di lavoro, prodotti di artigianato e oreficerie che testimoniano l'arte, la vita e il lavoro delle popolazioni del Gargano; i materiali in gran parte sono stati raccolti dall'etnologo e storico Tancredi. L'esposizione risulta dinamica e, secondo un'impostazione narrativa, si dispone ad un ricambio continuo e movimento espositivo di momenti e aspetti della vita e del lavoro delle classi più povere nelle loro varie trasformazioni.

(Translated by Google) The only museum in Monte Sant'Angelo, Tancredi certainly did his best but over the years little of all his material has remained but even that little is worth seeing, because it is very interesting, especially for those who come from a city, to understand the peasant life of the past, perhaps that of their ancestors who then emigrated to the north in search of a better life. Unfortunately, it surprises almost everyone that a town like this does not have an archaeological museum, so this is the only one and visit it also because you will not find similar ones easily! (Original) L'unico museo di monte Sant'Angelo, sicuramente Tancredi fece del suo meglio ma negli anni è rimasto poco di tutto il suo materiale ma anche quel poco va visto, perché molto interessante, sopratutto per chi viene da una città, per capire la vita contadina di un tempo, forse proprio quella dei loro avi che poi emigrarono al nord in cerca di una vita migliore. Purtroppo stupisce quasi tutti che un paese come questo non ha un museo archeologico, quindi questo è l'unico e visitatelo anche perché non ne troverete di simili facilmente!

It arises within the Franciscan convent of the homonymous parish, it is well organized and cared for, it is also free, the museum is still being expanded, but it has a very complete collection of objects, from the daily life of Gargano from the late 1800s and the first 40s. from the 1900s, there is also access to a beautiful terrace that enjoys an unforgettable view. (Original) Invito a todos aquellos que visiten Monte Sant'angelo a conocer este museo. Surge dentro del convento franciscano de la homónima parroquia, esta bien organizado y cuidado, además es gratuito, el museo todavía está en ampliación, pero posee una colección de objetos muy completa, de la vida cotidiana del Gargano de finales del 1800 y los primeros 40 años del 1900, se accede además a una linda terraza que goza de una vista inolvidable.

The museum offers a fascinating exhibition that provides insight into the history of the area. Visitors appreciate the knowledgeable staff who guide them through and explain the site's rich history. It is often described as a corner of paradise and an interesting place to explore.

(Translated by Google) Regarding the beauty of the museums, I would have given 5 stars but the lack of professionalism of the lady at the ticket office really put me in a position to criticize this place! Before purchasing the tickets I personally asked the lady about the possibility of accessing the museum area without problems with the stroller and I chose to undertake the viewing with my husband and our 8 month old daughter in an 8kg stroller with the daughter of as many 8! We found many steps so we were able to visit the museum thanks to the help of a very kind French tourist! At the end of the tour we pointed out the problem to the lady who diverted the question to the monetary issue. We would like to point out that we paid €10 for 2, the museum deserves it, the lack of professionalism of the staff does not! (Original) Per quanto riguarda la bellezza dei musei avrei dato 5 stelle ma, la poca professionalità della signora della biglietteria mi ha davvero messa in condizione di criticare questo posto! Prima di acquistare i biglietti ho chiesto personalmente alla signora la possibilità di accedere senza problemi con il passeggino all'area dei musei ed ho scelto di intraprendere la visione con mio marito e la nostra bimba di 8 mesi in un passeggino di 8kg con la bimba di altrettanti 8! Abbiamo trovato molti scalini per cui abbiamo potuto visitare il museo grazie all'aiuto di un turista francese gentilissimo! Al termine del tour abbiamo fatto presente il problema alla signora che ha dirottato la questione sul monetario teniamo a precisare che abbiamo pagato 10€in 2, il museo li merita, la poca professionalità del personale no!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful bell tower built by order of Charles I of Anjou, whose builders and the date of the start of the works are known. On the entrance door there is an inscription that refers to 27 March 1274, the day in which its construction began. The task was entrusted to the talented Gargano architects Giordano and his brother Maraldo. The complete registration is as follows: TEMPORE QUO CHRISTUS CARNEM DE VIRGINE SUMPSIT ANNO DOMINI MCCLXXIIII SUB PONTIFICATU GREGORII (In the year 1274 from the time of the incarnation of Christ under the Pontificate of Gregory first hour of the sun, second indiction). It is a 25 meter high bell tower with an octagonal base, identical to one of the towers of Castel del Monte, commissioned by Federico II of Swabia, near Andria. The entrance to the bell tower is located on the main road, with an elevation of one meter from the street level. Through a staircase you go up to the upper floors, with internal domed vaults. In fact, in the wall which has a thickness of 2.50 metres, there is a staircase made up of 99 steps and 60 centimeters wide which unfolds in a spiral avoiding the single and double lancet windows which give light from the outside. Originally the height of the building was supposed to be around 40 metres, but due to earthquakes and other natural phenomena, the top floor of the building, namely the third, was damaged, so, as you can see, a new internal structure was built and exterior in disharmony with the original. From a stylistic point of view we have a mixture of Romanesque art, especially in the lower part and Gothic art on the upper floors. Admire the elegant single-lancet and double-lancet windows and the decorated shelves between one floor and the other. (Original) Meraviglioso campanile costruito per volontà di Carlo I d'Angiò di cui si conoscono i realizzatori e la data dell'inizio dei lavori. Sulla porta d'ingresso vi è una scritta che fa riferimento al 27 marzo del 1274 giorno in cui si poneva mano alla sua costruzione. L'incarico fu affidato ai valenti architetti garganici Giordano e suo fratello Maraldo. L'iscrizione completa è la seguente: TEMPORE QUO CHRISTUS CARNEM DE VIRGINE SUMPSIT ANNO DOMINI MCCLXXIIII SUB PONTIFICATU GREGORII X PROSPERE REGNANTE DOMINO CAROLO REGE SICILIE ARCHIDIACONO SUADENTE FELICE COEPTUM HOC OPUS PROTOMAGISTRO IORDANO ET MARANDO FRATRE EIUS ENTE XXVII MARCI HORA PRIMA SOLIS SECUNDE INDICTIONIS. (Nell’anno 1274 dal tempo dell’incarnazione di Cristo sotto il Pontificato di Gregorio X, regnando prosperamente Carlo Re di Sicilia, a premura dell’Arcidiacono Felice, fu iniziata quest’opera del protomagistro Giordano e suo fratello Maraldo il giorno 27 marzo nella prima ora del sole, seconda indizione). Si tratta di una torre campanaria alta 25 metri a base ottagonale, identica a una delle torri di Castel del Monte, voluto da Federico Il di Svevia, presso Andria. L’entrata al campanile si trova sulla strada principale, con una elevazione dal piano stradale di un metro. Attraverso una scalinata si sale verso i piani superiori, con volte interne a cupola. Nel muro che ha uno spessore di 2,50 metri, infatti, è ricavata una scala formata da 99 gradini e larga 60 centimetri che si svolge a spirale evitando le monofore e le bifore che danno luce dall'esterno. Originariamente l’altezza della costruzione doveva essere circa 40 metri, ma a causa di terremoti e altri fenomeni naturali, l’ultimo piano della costruzione, e precisamente il terzo, venne danneggiato, per cui, come si vede, venne costruita una nuova struttura interna ed esterna in disarmonia con l’originale. Da un punto di vista stilistico abbiamo un misto di arte romanica, specie nella parte bassa e di arte gotica nei piani superiori. Da ammirare le eleganti finestre monofore e bifore e le mensole decorate fra un piano e l’altro.

(Translated by Google) The bell tower, built with squared limestone blocks, has a height of 25 meters, corresponding exactly to the length of its perimeter; it is made up of a base just over a meter high, on which four floors rest, each of which is underlined by the presence of cornices, pilasters and blind arches. In the wall, which is 2.50 meters thick, a staircase is created, made up of 99 steps and 60 centimeters wide, which unfolds in a spiral avoiding the openings of the single and double lancet windows which give light to the interior. The original structure of the building, in which Romanesque and Gothic elements harmoniously coexist, was modified in 1666, when the belfry had to be adapted to the dimensions of a gigantic 30 quintal bell. As time passed, the excessive weight and the oscillations due to an ill-balanced placement of the large bell caused serious damage to the building, so, after the war, it was replaced with a lighter one, obtained from its fusion. Inserted into the walls of the bell tower are fragments of inscriptions dating back to the 10th-11th century, which almost certainly belonged to the primitive Romanesque church of San Michele, which was destroyed when the Angevin basilica was built above it. (Original) Il campanile, costruito con blocchi di pietra calcarea squadrati, ha un’altezza di 25 metri, corrispondente esattamente alla lunghezza del suo perimetro; è formato da un basamento alto poco più di un metro, su cui poggiano quattro piani, ognuno dei quali è sottolineato dalla presenza di cornici, paraste e arcate cieche. Nel muro, che ha uno spessore di 2,50 metri, è ricavata una scala, formata da 99 gradini e larga 60 centimetri, che si svolge a spirale evitando le aperture delle monofore e delle bifore che danno luce all’interno. La struttura originaria dell’edificio, in cui convivono armonicamente elementi romanici e gotici, è stata modificata nel 1666, allorché la cella campanaria dovette essere adattata alle dimensioni di una gigantesca campana di 30 quintali. Con il passare del tempo, il soverchio peso e le oscillazioni dovute a una collocazione mal equilibrata della grossa campana provocarono delle gravi lesioni nell’edificio, per cui, nel dopoguerra, siprovvide a sostituirla con una di peso inferiore, ottenuta dalla sua fusione. Inserite nelle pareti del campanile si trovano dei frammenti di iscrizioni risalenti al X-XI secolo, che quasi certamente dovevano appartenere alla primitiva chiesa romanica di San Michele, che andò distrutta quando al di sopra di essa fu edificata la basilica angioina.

(Translated by Google) Palace of one of the most important families of Monte Sant'Angelo. Worth mentioning is Vincenzo Amicarelli, to whom a street is dedicated, philosopher, and one of the first criminal lawyers in Italy, therefore called the "Lion of Puglia".
