About

About the area

Monopoli is a fortress that encapsulates all the vitality of Apuglia: the sea, history, art, and nature. The mighty walls built by Emperor Charles V are a treasure trove of the overwhelming beauty to be found in the city's maze of alleyways. Streets and courtyards, paved with white stone, their walls covered with flowers. The large squares are enclosed by palaces and Baroque churches, such as the majestic Cathedral of the Madonna della Madia. How striking it is can be seen from the glimpse of the old harbour with its dark blue fishermen's boats. After sunset in summer, the centre becomes a party, with tables outside for aperitifs or to enjoy the most authentic Apulian cuisine, together with the white and rosé wines of the region. In other seasons, you can drink and eat under the vaults of ancient buildings, then explore the remains of the Roman city with underground trails, visit Byzantine churches carved into the rock or the imperial castle with its towers planted in the sea which today hosts exhibitions and concerts. In the countryside leading towards Fasano, amidst expanses of olive and almond trees, are the famous masserie: the farmhouses of the local nobility transformed into charming residences for Italian and foreign tourists. You can also sleep in trulli, the characteristic buildings with conical roofs that only exist in this part of Apuglia. The coastline is dotted with large and small beaches that are reflected in the crystal-clear water. The most famous is Porto Ghiacciolo, a golden sandy shore in the shadow of a medieval monastery, and then Cala Copacabana all the way to the bathing establishments of Capitolo, a guarantee of relaxation where it is also possible to rent water sports equipment. Less than an hour's drive from the airports of Bari and Brindisi, Monopoli is a city that manages to captivate any tourist, surprising them with its wonder.
