Gargano National Park

Gargano National Park is a vast protected area in southern Italy spanning the Gargano promontory, its offshore archipelago, and adjacent wetlands in the region of Apulia. Established in 1991, it covers approximately 118,000 hectares, making it the largest national park in Apulia and one of the most ecologically significant protected areas in Western Europe. The park encompasses the rugged limestone mountains of the Gargano headland, the ancient beech woodlands of the Foresta Umbra, the Tremiti Islands in the Adriatic Sea, and the coastal wetland complex of Lago Salso. This extraordinary concentration of Mediterranean, forest, and wetland habitats within a single protected landscape creates one of Italy's most biologically diverse territories.
