Monopoli (Puglia)

Monopoli is a town in the province of Bari and region Apulia. It is important mostly as an agricultural, industrial and tourist centre.

The territory outside the walled city counts 99 hamlets (frazioni) and localities named contrade. Some of them, which merged with the urbanized area of the town, were suppressed and became outer wards. The others are mostly rural localities, mainly composed by some scattered farmhouses.

Most important sights of the town are: the Castle of Charles V, located on a promontory which was originally separated from the medieval city, the Coastal castle of St. Stephen, the Monopoli Cathedral and Palazzo Palmieri.

What others are saying about Puglia

HI! We are attending a wedding at MASSERIA LA MACINA in September of 2024. I am having a trouble finding acomadations for a family of 8. Thank you!

@mail_1 asks:

We are renovating a house near Monopoli. Once finished we intend to rent it out during peak months to, hopefully, high-end clients and use it ourselves at quieter times.

We would like to build an underground pool that can only be a maximum of 40 sq m. 

Hello, I was hoping someone may be able to assist with sourcing a company who specialise in doors and windows in Solento, Puglia. We have been slowly improving the holiday property and now is the time to change shutter doors.
