Monòpoli’s Centro Storico is an amazing place. It is picturesque, clean, safe and fun to explore. There are 19 medieval churches in the Old Town and countless cobblestone alleys. Let’s start our tour form Piazza Manzoni. Via Cathedrale brings you to the small square. Here you will find wonderful Cathedrale Maria della Madia, the construction of which was begun in the Golden age of the Apulian-Romanesque churches (1107) and ending only around 1770, thus acquiring all the characteristics of the purest Baroque. It is one of the most remarkable examples of Baroque in Puglia (open daily, 8 – 12, 16 – 19, Free). I would recommend to visit the cathedral around 6 – 7pm. The Museo Dicesano (across the street from the cathedral) exhibits objects of early religious art and Romanesque stone carving from the earlier church on the site. The Byzantine portrait of the Madonna della Media (around 1280) which, according to a legend, arrived in Monòpoli on a raft from east, kept there. In the nearby Bishop's palace there are paintings by P. Veronese, Palma the younger, Palma the elder, belonging to the Venetian school, and the paintings by the artists of the Neapolitan school, such as Micca, Spadaro and de Mura. From the cathedral, follow down the Via Padro Nikodeme. On your left, on the corner of Via Purgatoro, is grotesque Del Purgatorio – the Church of Purgatory (a must to see). Continue Via Padro Nikodeme to the small bay Cala Port Vechia. Here the ancient wall with massive guns separates you from the sea. Sounds of the waves crashing into the wall, seagulls and guns make long lasting impression. These Aragonese fortifications protected old Monopoli from the enemy sea-raids. Follow picturesque Via Papacenera , it brings you to the small church San Vito. Shortly afterwards, the street turns left and becomes a seaside boulevard Mura Santa Maria (Church Santa Maria Zaffira stands here). The boulevard brings you to the Castello Carlo V with mighty walls and impressive towers. Construction of the castle begun in 1552, it was completed around 1660. During Aragonese times, the fortress incorporated in its imposing polygonal shape some of the oldest preexistence. Inside the castle there is a small museum.Next to the Castello you see another bay and place of the ancient port – Porto Antico. Nearby there is the Romanesque church of Santa Maria degli Amalfitani, which dates back to the 12th century. Area is full of small shops and restaurants. A good seafood store is here as well offering the locals and visitors alike catch of the day. Now turn around and go inside the labyrinth of the narrow medieval streets. Via San Teresa leads you to the Piazza Palmieri - central square of the Centro Storico. Here stands the magnificent San Teresa Church. First church on the spot, SS. Pietro e Paolo was build in 229AD. Next to the San Teresa church there is an interesting Baroque palace – Palazzo Palmieri (18th century). Leaving the old town, do not miss romantic San Domenico Church. (thanks to Tolik)
