Monopoli

Larger than Polignano a Mare and more of a working fishing town, Monopoli’s imperfect nature makes it all the more appealing.

Like most Apulian towns, the highlight is the centro storico where visitors can marvel at the baroque cathedral and soak up the atmosphere in the piazza as you enjoy a coffee or an ice cream.

Head down to Monopoli’s porta vecchia to see some traditional Puglian traditional fishing boats which are painted blue and red and called gozzo.
