Religious Tourism

The province of Foggia is not just one land kissed only by the sea and the sun but it is the land of San Michele Arcangelo and San Padre Pio, emblematic figures that every year move millions of pilgrims and devotees from all over the world.

In the crypt of the Convent of Santa Maria Delle Grazie in San Giovanni Rotondo, the remains of San Pio da Pietralcina are preserved, the fulcrum of devotion, the destination of constant pilgrimages, now enclosed in the new complex designed by Renzo Piano.
