Monte Sant Angelo in Gargano

Good day,

Here are some photos from my trip to the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’ Angelo in Gargano, Italy. It’s located at the very highest point in Gargano and attached to a quaint little village of sorts.

In ~490 or so an angel came and told a bishop to “dedicate this cave to christian worship” so that’s just what he did. Since then pilgrims have been coming all over the world to appreciate and pay their respect. It’s a world heritage site but not by itself, it’s part of the Longobards in Italy – Places of the Power (568-774 A.D.).

If in the area with others, I’d go back as I’d like to see the views on a clear day.

Tips hat,
