Vieste

The terrain around Vieste is defined by the limestone Gargano promontory and the Adriatic coast, a setting that has shaped the town’s form and its long ties to fishing and tourism. The historic centre occupies a rocky headland above the sea, where narrow streets lead towards Vieste Cathedral and the castle associated with Emperor Frederick II. Below it stands Pizzomunno, a tall limestone sea stack beside the town’s southern beach and the subject of a local legend. Vieste also lies within Gargano National Park, whose coast is known for cliffs, coves and traditional trabucchi fishing structures.
