Earthquakes and Saracen incursions ruined the town, which became wholly abandoned when Man-fredonia was built with its stones. Of pagan antiquity there are a few capitals lying about, as well as granite columns in the curious old crypt.
The fastness of Sant' Angelo, metropolis of European angel-worship, has grown up around this "devout and honourable cave"; on sunny days its houses are clearly visible from Man-fredonia. They who wish to pay their devotions at the shrine cannot do better than take with them Gregorovius, as cicerone and mystagogue. Vainly I waited for a fine day to ascend the heights.
The choice of Man-fredonia as a port does not testify to any great foresight on the part of its founder peace to his shade! It will for ever slumber in its bay, while commerce passes beyond its reach; it will for ever be malarious with the marshes of Sipontum at its edges.
Not much of Man-fredonia seems to have been completed when Pacicchelli's view was engraved. Speaking of the weather, the landlady further told me that the wind blew so hard three months ago "during that big storm in the winter, don't you remember?" that it broke all the iron lamp-posts between the town and the station.
