Sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sanctuary of Saint Maria delle Grazie is richly decorated with mosaics and precious marble. The new and the old church form a single building, built to accommodate the growing influx of pilgrims who flocked to Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo. Padre Pio lived here from 1916 until his death in 1968. In the crypt beneath the church, his body is buried in a glass coffin. In the old church, his cell can also be visited.

Monte Calvo

Highlight • Summit

Mount Calvo is the highest peak among those that make up the Gargano massif in Puglia. It reaches an altitude of 1065 m (fifth peak in the region) and has an evident karst morphology. It owes its name to a completely barren peak, surrounded, however, by imposing and dense forests that cover its slopes and extend for most of the territory of the Gargano national park.

Among the most interesting aspects of this mountain are the numerous caves, inhabited since prehistoric times. There have been several archaeological finds of finds attributable to the Neolithic: rudimentary parts of axes, flints and various types of tools confirm the presence of man on the Gargano plateaus even in prehistoric and protohistoric times (Dauna civilization).
