The apparition in question is variously dated; the official website of the shrine at Monte Sant'Angelo on the Gargano gives 492 as the traditional date but suggests 663 as more probable. See: http://www.gargano.it/sanmichele/english/appariz-en.htm
For a virtual tour of the shrine, go to:

and click on "Virtual Visit".
