Its historic center is a real jewel, characterized by majestic religious buildings, fascinating stately homes and an atmosphere steeped in art and history.This bewitching city is also famous as the "city of a hundred districts", each of which bears the name of ancient farmhouses that have now disappeared. Each district has its own unique identity, with fortified farms that tell stories of times gone by, neoclassical patrician streets that enchant with their elegance, churches that preserve precious works of art and even trulli.

Its numerous clubs and restaurants invite visitors to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of the local nightlife, where it is possible to taste local culinary delicacies and experience unforgettable evenings.
Monopoli is deeply rooted in the tradition of fishermen, being a city founded and shaped by the sea. Its coast extends for 15 km, with numerous coves and large sandy beaches.
