Castle of Monopoli, Coastal fortress in Monopoli, Italy

The Castle of Monopoli stands on Punta Pinna promontory with pentagonal bastions, a cylindrical tower, and stone ramparts facing the Adriatic Sea.

Emperor Charles V ordered the construction of this defensive structure in the 16th century as part of a network protecting the Apulian coast.

The castle houses the ancient rock Church of San Nicola de Pinna from the 10th century and displays four Neapolitan howitzers in its hall.

The fortress welcomes visitors for art exhibitions and cultural events, located 1.4 kilometers from the Monopoli railway station.

The basement contains a preserved underground church, while the upper levels feature a parade ground connecting northeastern and southeastern watchtowers.
