Harbour walls built from local limestone have protected Monopoli's fishing fleet since at least the tenth century. This Adriatic port in the Metropolitan City of Bari, Puglia, grew around a natural inlet that still shelters working boats alongside pleasure craft in the Porto Vecchio. The old town occupies a compact promontory above the water, its lanes lined with whitewashed houses, baroque churches - including the Cattedrale della Madonna della Madia with its Byzantine icon - and the imposing Castello Carlo V, a sixteenth-century fortress expanded under Spanish rule. Monopoli counts approximately 37,738 residents and draws growing numbers of summer visitors to the rocky coves and sandy beaches (Cala Porta Vecchia, Porto Ghiacciolo) that stretch along the coast on either side of the centre.
