Ischitella

Ischitella is a town and comune in the province of Foggia, in Apulia, in southeast Italy, on the northern slopes of the Gargano promontory. Its local name in the Foggiano dialect is Schetedde. The town is a centre of citrus production. Its sights include a castle, now a private palace, built in the twelfth century and remade in the seventeenth, the eighteenth century Church of St Eustace, and the Abbey of San Pietro in Cuppis outside the town, a Byzantine-Romanesque building known since as early as 1058 and now in a decaying state. Ischitella has been twinned with Settimo Torinese since 2006.
