The Basilica of Siponto rises a few kilometers from Manfredonia, in an area in the South of the Gargano, which has been a crossway of history and culture. Greeks, Romans, Longobards, Saracens and Normans have been here and each people has left their mark in the culture of the place. 

It is no surpirse that the Basilica, its most famous monument is the product of a wide range of influences that in Siponto have found fertile ground. The architecture of the Basilica, in fact, although in a Romanic style, presents clear Islamic and Armenian influences.
