Historic Center of Monopoli

Highlight • Historical Site

Port city of Puglia, historical and functional in equal parts, Monopoli impresses the visitor with medieval churches and castles overlooking the Adriatic. It's also every painter's dream, with deep blue fishing boats adding a pop of color to the whitewashed harbor walls.

Here the seafaring tradition is alive and present in the historic fishing boats, in the port with its "gozzi" (the small boats of fishermen), in the calloused hands of shipwrights and shipbuilding craftsmen, in the infinite gazes of fishermen, but above all in that sense of community that is found and renewed in the maritime roots. The port, integrated into the urban fabric, acts as a link between the ancient center and the city. It is a multi-purpose port, as it is dedicated to both commercial traffic (fishing and various materials) and tourism. There are also shipyards in the port area, so it is easy to come across the construction of small and medium-sized hulls. Ancient crafts such as that of the shipwright coexist with a design and construction structure in step with technology.

Old Port of Monopoli

Highlight • Historical Site

The port of Monopoli is one of the oldest ports on the Adriatic coast of Puglia. Its origins are pre-Roman even if it was precisely under the impulse of Rome that Monopoli, and its port, acquired strategic and commercial importance. Nonetheless, the port always remained a difficult mooring, so much so that it earned the nickname of Porto Aspro. The current appearance of the port took shape after the unification of Italy, but was concluded only after the Second World War.
