Lucera, in the Foggia area, still bears the imprint of Frederick II. The 13th-century Swabian-Angevin fortress overlooks the town, not far from the Roman amphitheatre from the Augustan era, which could seat 16,000 to 18,000 spectators. From 1223, Frederick II settled Muslims from Sicily here; the Gothic-Angevin cathedral has stood since 1302 on the site of their mosque. The Fiorelli Museum rounds out the visit. About 20 minutes from Foggia, it’s a great stop before heading up to the Monti Dauni.
