Foggia is a city and comune of Apulia, in southern Italy, capital of the province of Foggia. In 2013 its population was 153,143. Foggia is the main city of a plain called Tavoliere, also known as the granary of Italy. The name Foggia might derive from Latin fovea, meaning pit, referring to the pits where wheat was stored. The name's etymology remains uncertain however, as it could as well stem from Phocaea, or most probably from the Medieval Greek word for fire, which is fotia, as according to legend the original -11th-c-AD- settlers were peasants, allegedly after having [miraculously] discovered there a panel portraying the Madonna, on which three flames burnt.
It is a communication and industrial center and the main wheat market of Southern Italy. Foggia is famous for its watermelons and tomatoes. Although less important than once before, the agricultural sector remains the mainstay of Foggia's economy. This area is nicknamed the granary of Italy. The few industries present are mostly devoted to food processing. Craftsmanship is also encouraged and developed.
Foggia railway station, opened in 1864, forms part of the Adriatic Railway (Ancona–Lecce), and is the terminus of the Naples–Foggia railway. It is also a junction for several other, secondary lines, namely the Foggia–Manfredonia, Lucera–Foggia and Foggia–Potenza railways, making Foggia the most important railway junction of southern Italy and the third one of whole Italy. Foggia is served by Gino Lisa Airport, which offers direct flights operated with helicopters to Tremiti Islands and Vieste.
Alot to see in Foggia such as :
The cathedral of Santa Maria de Fovea, which is directly linked with the patron saint Madonna dei Sette Veli (Madonna of the Seven Veils) This important site has two levels of architectural style. The lower part is Romanic as with many Pugliese churches. The upper part is a very remarkable example of Baroque. The upper part was reconstructed after an earthquake that destroyed a great part of the historical centre.
Palazzo Dogana, the historical seat of the sheep custom. On July 2013 this Palace was elected by UNESCO as Messenger Monument of the Culture of Peace for the important role it had in the cultural exchanges during centuries.
Chiesa delle Croci (Church of the Crosses).
I Tre Archi (The Three Arches).
Arco di Federico II (Arch of Frederick II).

Troy | Ancient city, Turkey
Visit Troy | Ancient city, Turkey - Tourism & Vacations in Troy, Ancient, Turkey
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
Troy is a city well-known to both history and legend (as well as archaeology), and was situated in northwest Anatolia in what is now Turkey (but which was known in Classical sources as Asia Minor), located south of the southwest end of the Dardanelles/Hellespont and northwest of Mount Ida at Hisaronu. It is best known for being the setting of the Trojan War described in the Greek Epic Cycle and especially in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer. Metrical evidence from the Iliad and the Odyssey seems to show that the name Ἴλιον (Ilion) formerly began with a digamma: Ϝίλιον (Wilion). This was later supported by the Hittite form Wilusa.
A new capital called Ilium[note 2] was founded on the site in the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. It flourished until the establishment of Constantinople and declined gradually during the Byzantine era.
In 1865, English archaeologist Frank Calvert excavated trial trenches in a field he had bought from a local farmer at Hisarlık, and in 1868, Heinrich Schliemann, a wealthy German businessman and archaeologist, also began excavating in the area after a chance meeting with Calvert in Çanakkale.[3][4] These excavations revealed several cities built in succession. Schliemann was at first skeptical about the identification of Hisarlik with Troy, but was persuaded by Calvert[5] and took over Calvert's excavations on the eastern half of the Hisarlik site, which was on Calvert's property. Troy VII has been identified with the Hittite city Wilusa, the probable origin of the Greek Ἴλιον, and is generally (but not conclusively) identified with Homeric Troy.
Today, the hill at Hisarlik has given its name to a small village near the ruins, supporting the tourist trade visiting the Troia archaeological site.[6] It lies within the province of Çanakkale, some 30 km south-west of the provincial capital, also called Çanakkale. The nearest village is Tevfikiye. The map here shows the adapted Scamander estuary with Ilium a little way inland across the Homeric plain.
Troia was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1998.

ARTI Puglia:
Speciale Capoluoghi d'Italia - Pistoia
Capoluoghi ci porta in Toscana a Pistoia, città dei Pulpiti, celebrata capitale italiana della cultura nel 2017. Il capoluogo dell’omonima Provincia è un vero museo di arte e storia. L’itinerario religioso è senz’altro uno dei punti di forza di Pistoia. Non a caso la maestosa cattedrale di San Zeno conserva l’unica reliquia di San Giacomo esistente fuori da Santiago di Compostela, per questo in città c’è una forte devozione per il Santo. Inoltre la cupola della Basilica della Madonna dell’Umiltà è la terza in Italia per grandezza. Nel corso del programma incontriamo il sindaco, il vescovo, l’arciprete della cattedrale, l’assessore al Turismo, il presidente dell’eccellente fondazione MAIC, il rappresentante dell’antica Romea Strata e gli altri protagonisti del territorio. Il conduttore Mario Placidini ci accompagna nella visita del centro storico, delle pregevoli chiese, della torre campanaria, del museo diocesano, dell’antico Spedale del Ceppo, in una gioiosa passeggiata alla scoperta delle opere dei tanti artisti del passato. Inoltre mostriamo i grandi treni d’epoca della ferrovia Porrettana e ammiriamo gli eccellenti vivai del luogo. Infine conosciamo le manifestazioni, e in una trattoria degustiamo i saporiti piatti tipici toscani. Buona visione.
