Foggia

Not far from the Marino bus stop, near the train station, is the Cathedral of Foggia, closely linked to the findings of the Iconatevere, a table that represents a rare Virgin Kyriotissa. Its history is based on that of the birth of the city. According to tradition, the image, wrapped in seven veils - resulting in the name of the “Virgin of the Seven Veils” - was discovered in 1062 by a pastor, in a bog, the current Piazza del Lago in Foggia. However, the entire historical center, centered on the Via Arpi, is worth a visit. This is where, in the 13th century, the Swabian Emperor, Frederick II, built his palace, which is now no longer standing. This area today is characterized by a dense network of alleys, ancient churches, and noble palaces, as well as a series of tunnels and hypogeums, all to be visited.
