Extract from the Monte Sant'Angelo Travel Guides:
Just north of Manfredonia, perched almost 800m up in the hills,
MONTE SANT'ANGELO
is the highest - and coldest - settlement in the Gargano. Pilgrims have trudged up the switchback paths and roads for centuries to visit the spot where the archangel Michael is said to have made four separate appearances, mostly at the end of the fifth century - making the sanctuary here one of the earliest Christian shrines in Europe and one of the most important in Italy. Today, the pilgrims come by bus, and the major festivals on May 8 and September 29 every year attract locals from miles around who turn up in traditional dress.
