Those who come to Monopoli cannot help but be fascinated by the beauty of the village and the ancient port that offers a beautiful glimpse of the sea in the living heart of the city. Monopoli is also known as the city of a hundred contrade, since the agro area is divided into so many contrade. Monopoli is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Puglia and certainly some of the coolest ever. Between the city center and the maritime district of Capitolo, one is spoiled for choice. Booking a place on the beach in Monopoli with Cocobuk before getting ready for the night Movida is undoubtedly the proposal of the Apulian summer.

Walking along Monopoli’s waterfront, it is impossible not to notice the beautiful castle that embellishes the scenery. The Charles V Castle in Monopoli is rightfully among the fortifications of the coastal area ordered by Charles V. The imposing structure of this castle goes well with the beauty of the area in which it stands.

Its pentagonal shape is immediately reminiscent of 16th-century forts, but the shape of the entrance tells us that the structure that exists today incorporated a pre-existing cylindrical tower and the basement that now houses the Basilian church of San Nicola della Pinna, a small, architecturally interesting single-nave church. The castle is now a venue for exhibitions and events, as well as a municipal hall for lgbt and non-lgbt civil marriages. It stands in the heart of the city’s historic center.

Among the 5 things to do in Monopoly, I could not fail to include something not related to NightLife. After all, they come here from all parts of the province . So many venues populate the historic center of Monopoli. Especially in Garibaldi Square you can find a number of very nice and very trendy small places and bars where you can eat well or have a good drink.
