Vico Del Gargano - Geography

Geography

The town is bordered by Carpino, Ischitella, Monte Sant'Angelo, Peschici, Rodi Garganico and Vieste.

The historical center of Vico del Gargano is a magnificent example of civic architecture that has been extraordinarily well preserved through the centuries. You can get maps of the city centre at the Information Point, in c.so Umberto 16. The map will guide you to many of the main attractions in Vico including Trappeto Maratea, the castle of Frederic the Second, della Bella Palace, and Vicolo del Bacio or ‘Alley of the Kiss’. But, as with all Italian hill-top towns you are meant to simply have a good wander through the narrow streets and arched passageways, discovering small public squares, shops and restaurants along the way. Visiting the city centre in the evening is especially magical as the city turns it’s spotlights on to the city walls, transforming it into shimmering tumble of medieval walls, terra-cotta rooftops, and locals on their evening strolls.
