Encyclopedic overview
The Tremiti Islands (Italian: Isole Tremiti, Italian pronunciation: [ˈiːzole ˈtrɛːmiti]), also literarily known as Isole Diomedee ("Diomedean Islands", from Greek Διομήδεες Diomédees), are an archipelago in the Adriatic Sea, some 10 miles (16 km) offshore to the north of the Gargano Peninsula. They constitute a comune of Italy's Province of Foggia, Apulia and form part of the Gargano national park. The archipelago is composed of 5 islands: San Domino, San Nicola, Capraia, Cretaccio, and Pianosa.
The islands were used for the internment of political prisoners during Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime. It was also the prison of Julia the Younger, the granddaughter of Augustus.
