Necropolis (rock settlement) of Monte Pucci
Monte Pucci is located in the territory of Vico del Gargano (FG) and is located on the northwestern side of a small promontory between San Menaio and Peschici, overlooking the plain of Calanella.
Datable between the fourth and seventh centuries AD, the complex has about a thousand burial niches, dug under the floor, in more heights than the rocky walls, or elevated on shelves. They are organized around 27 early Christian hypogeums (with more intricate galleries with rooms dedicated to the cult of the dead). Beyond the places for the depositions, there are also environments certainly aimed at the liturgical practice, their presence differentiates this site from the other Garganic necropolises.
