Monopoli here
with all the

of Bari
(Apulia
Region) just
45 minutes
drive (approx.
30 miles)
south east of
the city and
airport of the

and just under
an hours
journey (45

Puglia airport
of Brindisi,
both via the

dual

allowing easy

foreign
visitors.
 With
plenty of
unspoilt
coast, clear
blue seas and

opportunities
from the low
lying rocks.

has been under
the rule of
the Norman,
Byzantine,
Swabian,
Venice, Spain,
Austria,
Naples before
finally become
part of the
Kingdom of
Italy, all
leaving their
mark in the
area, plus
Roman and
bronze age
settlements
can be seen
locally.
