Peschici

Perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, from Peschici the view overlooks one of the most beautiful bays in Italy, located within the Gargano National Park. The sea is an integral part of its history, as witnessed by the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Loreto, which, according to tradition, was built by a group of fishermen who had escaped shipwreck, as a sign of thanksgiving and devotion. From the town's belvedere, looking towards Vieste, you can see the characteristic trabucchi, wooden structures suspended over the sea that were once places dedicated exclusively to fishing. But the history of the village is also told by the majestic Norman castle and the Torre del Ponte, the gateway to the old town, a stone soul with a maritime feel.
