Monopoli

Monopoli straddles a low limestone stretch of Adriatic shoreline in Apulia, where its sheltered harbour has shaped a seafaring town of fishing, trade and coastal defences. The compact centro storico is enclosed by walls and arranged around narrow lanes, small squares and the port. Castello Carlo V, a fortress begun in the 16th century under Spanish rule, stands beside the old quarter, whose focal point is the Cathedral of Madonna della Madia. Beyond the walls, the coast alternates between coves and rocky shores, while inland lies the wider Valle d’Itria, known for its trulli settlements.
