Men and Gods, The Sea and The Sacred

The caves on the islet of Sant'Eufemia, opposite the town of Vieste, hold a thousand-year-old secret: more than 200 rock inscriptions that tell forgotten stories. A precious heritage that from the Roman period to the contemporary age offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of sailors who plied the dangerous waters of the Adriatic. But this cave was not just a shrine; it was a
silent witness to centuries of life. Archaeological finds spanning nearly a thousand years of history emerge: ancient pottery, fragments of human bones. An extraordinary find that not only reveals a fragment of the history of this territory, but also invites us to reflect on the deep connection man has always had with the sea and its deities.
