À PROPOS DE Foggia

Foggia is the capital of the Tavoliere, in the heart of the vast plain of Capitanata. The city was rebuilt after the 1731 earthquake, then after the 1943 bombings: few old quarters remain, but a few places are worth a stop. These include the cathedral (12th century, remodelled), the Porta Arpana known as the Tre Archi, the 15th-century Palazzo Dogana, the Umberto Giordano Theatre, and the large Villa Comunale. A practical stop, especially on the way to Gargano or the Monti Dauni.

Foggia was home to the Regia Dogana della Mena delle Pecore, the administration that taxed sheep transhumance along the tratturi. In 2013, the Palazzo Dogana received UNESCO recognition as a “Peace Culture Messenger Monument.” Frederick II built an imperial palace here; its arch can still be seen in Piazza Nigri. The composer Umberto Giordano was born here in 1867. The festivals of the patron saint, the Madonna dei Sette Veli, fall on March 22 and August 15.
