EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and rich history of The Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo sul Gargano, a medieval fortress and pilgrimage site located in the coastal town of Manfredonia, in the Italian province of Foggia, Puglia. Dating back to the Hohenstaufen dynasty in the 13th century, the castle was later completed and fortified by the Angevins in the 15th century, with new walls and bastions. The imposing structure, perched atop Monte Gargano, has stood as a symbol of strength and faith for centuries. The image, taken in the 1910s, showcases the castle's impressive fortifications, with their towering walls and defensive structures, still intact and standing proud against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The intricate details of the castle's architecture are on full display, from the ornate windows and arches to the intricate carvings adorning the exterior. The Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo sul Gargano has long been a place of pilgrimage for the faithful, who come to pay homage to the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of the site. The castle's strategic location, atop a mountain overlooking the Adriatic Sea, has also made it an important defensive structure throughout history, withstanding numerous attacks and invasions. Today, The Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo sul Gargano is a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world who are drawn to its rich history, stunning beauty, and spiritual significance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of this remarkable place, a reminder of the past and a glimpse into the wonders of Italy's cultural heritage.
