Porto di Monopoli, Maritime port on the Adriatic coast in Monopoli, Italy.

The port of Monopoli is a maritime harbor on the Adriatic coast with four distinct coves that accommodate different types of vessels, from small fishing boats to commercial ships. Deeper areas allow larger vessels to anchor and load and unload cargo.

Excavations by the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Puglia between 1985 and 2011 found a Messapian town of the 5th century BC with walls facing the old harbour cove, later Roman, over a 15th-century BC hut village trading with the Mycenaean world. In 1049 the Norman Ugo Tutabovi had the basin silted up to block the Byzantine fleet, reducing it to the roadstead called Porto Aspro. Work on the modern harbour began in 1836 and was completed in 1864.

Local fishermen still work with traditional red and blue gozzo boats and bring their daily catches to the southern section of the old port. The way they mend their nets and maintain their vessels shows craftsmanship passed down through generations.

The harbor is easy to reach on foot from the town and offers different views of the water and ships depending on which section you walk along. It is worth planning time to explore and visit both the old and newer areas.

The harbour's name derives from the Greek monos polis, "single city", after the coastal settlements merged into one town following the fall of Rome and the destruction of Egnazia. Three of the sailors in the translation of Saint Nicholas's relics were from Monopoli, and a ship was fitted out for the Battle of Lepanto.
