Troia

⭐ 8.5

Eleven-spoked rose window, bronze doors, and the quiet of the Monti Dauni.

The Byzantines refounded Troia in 1019 on the ancient site of Aecae. During the Middle Ages, the town sat on the Via Francigena and hosted four councils between 1093 and 1127, the first under Urban II. Today, life remains agricultural: durum wheat, olive oil (Ogliarola Troiana variety), and a small amount of Nero di Troia, a red wine produced in limited quantities. Troia is also known for artisanal lute-making and holds the Touring Club’s Bandiera Arancione label. The best time to visit: Good Friday, for its traditional processions.

À PROPOS DE Troia

Troia is worth visiting for its Romanesque cathedral, begun in 1093: an eleven-rayed rose window and bronze doors by Oderisio da Benevento. The hilltop center can be explored on foot in two or three hours, including the cathedral’s treasury and the town’s small museums. It’s a quiet stop at the gates of the Monti Dauni, without beaches or crowds, about 25 minutes from Foggia. Fun fact: the rose window was featured on the back of the old 5,000 lire banknotes.

The Byzantines refounded Troia in 1019 on the ancient site of Aecae. During the Middle Ages, the town sat on the Via Francigena and hosted four councils between 1093 and 1127, the first under Urban II. Today, life remains agricultural: durum wheat, olive oil (Ogliarola Troiana variety), and a small amount of Nero di Troia, a red wine produced in limited quantities.
