Alberona

⭐ 8.1

Stone village at 732 m, with views over the Tavoliere

The fief was first controlled by the Templars, until their assets were confiscated by Frederick II in 1239, then entrusted to the Hospitallers in 1312. The Torre del Priore was transferred in 2002 to Italia Nostra, which made it its headquarters. The plague of 1656 caused 384 deaths here. At the table, try cavatelli with wild boar ragù. The Giacomo Strizzi National Poetry Prize, created in 1986 by the Pro Loco, pays tribute to a poet in the local dialect, and the feast of Saint John the Baptist takes place on August 29 and 30.

À PROPOS D’Alberona

Alberona is a mountain village in the Monti Dauni, perched at 732 m above sea level on the slopes of Mount Stillo. It overlooks the Tavoliere delle Puglie, the vast Foggia plain. Here you can wander among the stone houses, the Chiesa Madre and the Torre del Priore, then continue on foot along the trails, especially toward the Tigli canal. It’s a peaceful stop off the beaten path, perfect for a Monti Dauni road trip.

The fief was first controlled by the Templars, until their assets were confiscated by Frederick II in 1239, then entrusted to the Hospitallers in 1312. The Torre del Priore was transferred in 2002 to Italia Nostra, which made it its headquarters. The plague of 1656 caused 384 deaths here. At the table, try cavatelli with wild boar ragù. The Giacomo Strizzi National Poetry Prize, created in 1986 by the Pro Loco, pays tribute to a poet in the local dialect, and the feast of Saint John the Baptist takes place on August 29 and 30.
