Select the district

The province of Foggia is also known as Daunia and it takes its first and ancient name from a legendary king who came from Greece. Nowadays with the term Daunia we intend the Apulian territory near The Daunian Apennine. The history has come from the great number of finds collected among the territories of this district. Palaeolithic layers, necropolis, Neolithic villages, Roman cities, castles (Bovino, Deliceto etc.), ancient cathedrals and abbeys prop up the whole territory strengthening its relevance in the historic and archaeological context.. The knowable chances let this area be told as “the promised land” for the archaeological lovers. This land saw Hannibal and Pyrrhus walking; the Romans defeated the latter in 279 B.C.. Goods and tradition preservation is due to farming and herding of the beeves of Abruzzi towards the pasture lands of Tavoliere delle Puglie (Apulian Table) which are still alive and mark the passing of the time.
