The Necropolis of Monte Saraceno, in the area around the small town of Mattinata, is a magical place that still thrills those who decide to visit the Gargano area.
A hiking trail through coastal woodland of Aleppo pine, almond and carob trees leads to the summit of the Mount, where a fascinating protohistoric necropolis dating back more than 2,500 years rises more than 200 meters above sea level.
The religious and cultural site is a true paradise for lovers of nature and archaeology: the necropolis is crossed by archaeo-trekking trails that end at the ancient Via Sacra dei Dauni, while not far away rises Monte Sacro and the ruins of the Benedictine abbey of the Holy Trinity.
