Carlisle - Chronicle to get to Carlisle is a journey through the extraordinary landscape of the Monti Dauni. From Foggia, the capital, as well as from Lucera, to get to one of the smallest municipalities in the Captains with its 1100 inhabitants, we must take road 17 to St. James Bridge, then follow the provincial Ponte San Giacomo - San Marco la Católica. In summer, the landscape, which offers views of those who walks towards Carlisle, is made of hills covered with gold and emerald green, between the slow wave of the ears, the fresh air of the woods, the ' Sunflower cheeky homage to the god Helios. A treat for the eyes and soul. Carlisle is located at the border with Molise. The viewpoint the country, located at the end of the main street, overlooking the valley that includes the river and the nearby dam Fortore Occhito, one of the largest lakes in Europe.

The first, coming from the only access to the country, is the "Europa Bar", with outdoor tables placed in front of the church of San Donato. Among a drink and reading the newspaper, are the adults of Carlisle, especially men, to have voted "Europe" as a point of privileged meeting. A few feet beyond the other bar. Around the tables in the "La Perla" gather the youth of Carlisle, who on Saturday night meet at the "Green Time" pizza surrounded by "Bosco San Cristoforo", together with the boys and girls Motta Montecorvino , San Marco and the Catola Celenza Valfortore.

By becoming carried away by the slight slope down which features over Europe, arriving at the "Bar Central". And 'the meeting place for yet another generation, that of the elders of Carlisle, the country's historical memory. The origin of this small town, so close to Molise in terms of geography and culture, has no specific dates. The earliest records date back around the end of '500. Of historic and artistic interest is the Church of the Santissima Annunziata, which overlooks the homonymous square. It was built in 1582 and expanded by Gambacorta in 1753. Inside you can admire the chapel of the SS. Rosario and SS. Body of Christ, as well as a portal of the seventeenth century. Finally, in the Chapel of the Annunciation, is stored an old canvas depicting the Virgin and Child and a statue of the Madonna del Carmine dating from the fifteenth century. By opening a small town museum, cared very passionately by a group of volunteers, Carlisle is trying to recover even its earliest history. The future of the country could be back from his own past is not yet entirely revealed.
