History

In the civil province of Foggia in Apulia, south-eastern Italy, the Archdiocese of Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo (Latin: Archidioecesis Sipontina-Vestana-Sancti Ioannis Rotundi) is a Latin Church non-metropolitan archdiocese belonging to the ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Foggia-Bovino. Its roots lie in the historic Archdiocese of Siponto, a precursor seated in what is today a suburb of Manfredonia, which was raised from the rank of diocese in 1074.
