Palazzo - Edificio in Mattinata

The cluster sits on the Gargano promontory facing the Adriatic Sea and the Gulf of Manfredonia. The area lies within/adjacent to the Parco Nazionale del Gargano (Gargano National Park), which protects coastal cliffs, karst plateaus and woodland on the promontory. The immediate coast here features limestone cliffs, small bays, sea caves and beaches. Local land use is dominated by olive groves and small-scale agriculture; the local economy includes summer coastal tourism and fisheries. The nearest larger town is Manfredonia, which provides a rail station, a commercial port (ferry connections to the Tremiti islands) and broader services. The forested interior of the Gargano (Foresta Umbra and upland karst) lies inland on the promontory and is reached by a drive from the coast.
