Vieste, Coastal commune in Gargano Peninsula, Italy.
The medieval town of Vieste extends along the Adriatic Sea with white limestone cliffs and two expansive beaches near its center.
In 1554, Turkish raiders captured 7000 inhabitants of Vieste, executing those unable to work and enslaving the remaining population.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria di Merino stands in the center, displaying Romanesque-Apulian architecture with a nave and two side aisles.
The town includes numerous hotels, resorts, and camping facilities spread across its territory, from basic accommodations to five-star establishments.
The Pizzomunno monolith rises 26 meters from Castle Beach, marking the southern edge of Vieste with its white limestone formation.
