RELIGIOUS SITES OF INTEREST GARGANO

Tourists come from all over the world to San Giovanni Rotondo, to the tomb of Padre Pio and Monte Sant'Angelo, to the Shrine of San Michele, consecrated to the Archangel in 493. Historians believe the temple rose in the second half of the 6th century on an old Basilian abbey. Another charming area is the picturesque Junno district with its terraced houses. San Marco in Lamis is also worth a visit: set in a valley surrounded by mountains, its history is interconnected with that of another venerated site: the shrine of San Matteo.
