MONOPOLI – ITALY
Monopoli is a town in Italy, in the Puglia region, and lies on the Adriatic Sea about 40 kilometres southeast of Bari. It is one of the most picturesque towns in South Italy and is known for its aesthetically pleasing whitewashed houses that contrast perfectly to the turquoise waters that crash along the coast.
You can find many historic places in the town, one of which is the 16th-century fortress on a peninsula called the Punta Pinna and it’s situated near the Old Port of Monopoli. This fortress is part of the town’s fortification systems built by Emperor Charles V and today it is one of Monopoli’s prized attractions.
The beautiful stone houses, with the stunning turquoise sea as a backdrop, provide one of the most breathtaking sceneries in this town. Red and blue boats that the fishermen in the area have used for many years are part of the Porto Antico—or the Old Port.
