Photos: Monte Sant'Angelo

This gallery of 27 photos accompanies our article on the Monte Sant'Angelo in Puglia, Italy. A sacred cave and popular Catholic shrine near San Giovanni Rotundo. Here the Archangel Michael is said to have appeared in 490, 492 and 1656 and consecrated the shrine himself. Click any image to enlarge, or just start at the beginning for a virtual tour!
