This city is part of the Gargano National Park

The comune is bordered by those of Apricena, Cagnano Varano, Lesina, Poggio Imperiale and San Marco in Lamis.

In 1945, about 30 Italian members of a tiny Sabbatarian sect converted to Judaism.[3] Most of the gerim emigrated to Israel and reside mainly in the cities of Birya and Safed, although some remain in San Nicandro Garganico today.[3]

It's a commercial city but, especially in the summer period, very tourist.

Main sights edit

  • The 16th century collegiate church, often incorrectly called "Cathedral"
  • Church of San Giorgio in Terravecchia
  • Aragonese-Norman Castle
  • Remains of the Roman villa at Sant'Annea
  • Torre Mileto (Mileto Tower) with the sea
  • Dolina Carsica Pozzatina (The biggest dolinin in Europe and, perhaps, in the world)
