Monte Sant'Angelo, Medieval hilltop town in Gargano, Italy
Monte Sant'Angelo sits at 796 meters above sea level, offering views of the Tavoliere plateau and the Gulf of Manfredonia across limestone terrain.
In 493 AD, Archangel Michael appeared in a grotto, leading Bishop Maioranus to build a church that became a center of Christian pilgrimage.
The Sanctuary features a Romanesque bronze door from 1076 with 24 panels depicting Biblical scenes and contains the sacred grotto of Archangel Michael.
The town maintains connections through provincial roads SP.55 and SP.89, with regular bus services linking to Foggia railway station throughout the day.
The Norman-Swabian-Aragonese castle houses the Torre dei Giganti, a tower dating to 979 AD, where legend states Bianca Lancia's spirit walks the halls.
