MANFREDONIA

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 568 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANFREDONIA , a town and archiepiscopal see (with Viesti) of Apulia, Italy, in the province of Foggia, from which it is 22a M. N.E. by rail, situated on the
coast
 , facing E., 13 ft. above sea-level, to- the
south
  of Monte Gargano, and giving its name to the gulf to the
east
  of it. Pop. (1901), 11,549. It was founded by Manfred in 1263, and destroyed by the Turks in 162o; but the medieval castle of the Angevins and parts of the town walls are well preserved. In the
church
  of S. Domenico, the chapel of the Maddalena contains old paintings of the 14th century. Two miles to the
south
 -west is the fine
cathedral
  of S. Maria
Maggiore
  di Siponto, built in "7 in the Romanesque style, with a
dome
  and crypt. S. Leonardo, nearer Foggia, belonging to the Teutonic order, is of the same date. This marks the site of the ancient Sipontum, the harbour of Arpi, which became a Roman colony in 194 s.C., and was not deserted in favour of Manfredonia until the 13th century, having become unhealthy owing to the stagnation of the water in the lagoons.
See A. Beltramelli, Il Gargano (Bergamo, 1907). (T. As.)
