The Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has drawn Christian pilgrims since the 6th century, sits at the heart of this pocket-sized Apulian hill town on the southern slopes of Mount Gargano. The surrounding Foresta Umbra nature reserve is also UNESCO-listed. Monte Sant'Angelo has an unusual concentration of churches for its size, scenic viewpoints across the Gargano, and a café and restaurant scene that punches above its weight.
