What to see in Rodi Garganico

The first suggestion we want to give you is simple but valuable: walk around this village even without a specific destination. Let yourself be fascinated by the hand-decorated walls, the panoramic points and don’t forget to taste the limoncello produced on site.

From a historical point of view, you can visit the two towers of the Aragonese castle while from a religious point of view, it is important to know that Rhodes plays a central role. We therefore suggest you see: the Madonna della Libera church (which preserves the Venetian-Gothic painting of the same name dating back to the fifteenth century) and the churches of San Nicola di Mira, Santa Barbara and San Pietro.
