La Panoramica

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The provincial road 113 is known by all as "La Panoramica" due to its wonderful view of the sea and the coast below. This road leads from the plain of Monopoli to the plateau of the Murgia. In addition to the view, for cyclists, the constant and gentle slope, the wide carriageway and the well-maintained road surface are appreciable. Furthermore, vehicular traffic is concentrated above all on the more recent and direct state highway 187, leaving this stretch of road less congested.

Trulli in Alberobello

Highlight • Historical Site

Alberobello is a unique place in the world characterized by the presence of countless perfectly preserved trulli visible above all in the Monti district. This peculiarity made Alberobello enter the Unesco World Heritage Site in 1996. The architecture of the trulli was born from the abundance of limestone in the area and from a seventeenth-century edict drawn up by Count Giangirolamo II which prohibited the use of the mortar in the constructions forcing in fact to build with the so-called "dry" technique. The edict itself was aimed at avoiding the taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Naples on stable housing: the dry construction made it possible to consider the houses precarious and unstable. This feature can be seen both in civilian homes and in other city buildings, such as the church of the parish of Sant'Antonio da Padova.

Church of Cristo delle Zolle

Highlight • Religious Site

A splendid example of sacred architecture of the seventeenth century, the church is located 3km from the town center among olive trees and ancient carob trees. Like many sacred places, it was built on an older rock site, already existing in 1400, following the discovery of a miraculous crucifix. After years of neglect the building was restored in early 2000 and used as a theater (both internal and external). Unfortunately, the theatrical experience did not last long and today it is once again abandoned.

Old Port of Monopoli

Highlight • Historical Site

The port of Monopoli is one of the oldest ports on the Adriatic coast of Puglia. Its origins are pre-Roman even if it was precisely under the impulse of Rome that Monopoli, and its port, acquired strategic and commercial importance. Nonetheless, the port always remained a difficult mooring, so much so that it earned the nickname of Porto Aspro. The current appearance of the port took shape after the unification of Italy, but was concluded only after the Second World War.
