Monopoli, Coastal commune in Puglia, Italy
The whitewashed buildings of Monopoli rise along the Adriatic Sea, featuring narrow streets that wind through the old town toward the harbor.
The settlement expanded significantly in 545 when residents of fallen Gnatia moved to Monopoli, leading to its name meaning 'only city'.
The Basilica of Madonna della Madia stands as the main cathedral, completed using wood from a miraculous raft that carried an icon into the harbor.
Located 40 kilometers southeast of Bari, Monopoli connects to major Puglian destinations through regular train services and the coastal highway.
The territory includes 99 rural localities spread across 156 square kilometers, each maintaining traditional farmhouses outside the central walled city.
