Vico del Gargano

Vico Garganico is a famous seaside resort in the Foggia province.

The area has been inhabitated since the prehistoric era, and was, according to tradition, founded in 970. However, Vito Garganico dates the first relevant historical document back to  1113, the period in which the Normans erected a fortress, noted today as the Norman Castle. The building is a wonderful example of cultural, artistic and functional architecture, which went on to take place across the following centuries. Built in the vicinity of the Castle, the Matrice Church is the oldst building of the Vico village. The Del Carmine Church of 1603, the Della Misericordia Church, the San Domenico Church, the Santa Maria Pura Church, the San Giuseppe Church and the San Marco Church are all also of great value.
