Museo del Territorio
Foggia
The Territory Museum was established in 1998 by the Provincial Administration of Foggia. The Museum presents the history of the Captain population in the first millennium of the Christian era in such a way as to make it easy for the public to visit and the history of the territory. Currently the museum is composed of two sections, the first one that introduced at the time and the other that shows some aspects of the material and artistic production of the Capitanata in the Middle Ages. Today the museum is proposed as a cultural container that comes to life thanks to the exhibitions and events it hosts.
Castel Pagano
Apricena
The castle is of nineteenth-century origins, even if it has been the subject of continuous restoration in recent years. Since it is a very ancient monument, it has been the scene of several important moments concerning the history of the area. In addition, the castle has passed into the hands of numerous owners. After the '600 it was used as a place of refuge by local shepherds, being in a state of neglect. Today you can see only the ruins, also available to the public.
Biblioteca Provinciale la Magna Capitana
Foggia
The Provincial Library was founded in 1833. It began its operation with 1913 volumes largely donated by citizens, to which in that same year the 1500 volumes offered by Gaetano di Troia were added, which thus inaugurated a tradition of donations. Since January 2002, the Library assumed the name of “La Magna Capitana” from the verse of a ballad of King Enzo of Hoensthaufen.
