Manfredonia, Coastal municipality in Apulia, Italy
Manfredonia extends along the Adriatic Sea at the foot of Monte Gargano, featuring a coastal landscape with beaches and a protected harbor for maritime activities.
The settlement originated as Sipontum in 189 BC as a Roman colony, until King Manfred established the current town in 1256 following earthquakes in the region.
The medieval castle, initiated by the Hohenstaufen dynasty and completed by the Angevins, contains archaeological collections displaying regional artifacts from various periods.
The railway station connects the town to Foggia, while the dual carriageway provides direct access to the A14 motorway for convenient regional transportation.
The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore di Siponto, constructed in 1117, stands 3 kilometers from the current town, marking the location of the original settlement.
