Monopoli (ital. Monopoli) - a commune in Italy, located in the province of Bari.
The population is 50 thousand people.
The patron of the commune revered by the blessed virgin Mary (Madonna della Madia), the celebration of December 16.
The city is located on the Eastern coast of the Peninsula. Dry and warm climate, the beautiful nature of the region and the developed tourist infrastructure attract many tourists. But most of all Monopoli known for its abundance of religious monuments, for which he received the nickname "the city of a thousand churches." And the name is well deserved - in this city, probably the largest concentration of temples, churches, basilicas and chapels. One of the main churches is the Church of St. Mary of the Amalfi.
Founded a city on the Adriatic sea, the ubiquitous Greeks, in 545 BC. Naturally, with such a convenient seaside location, Monopoli wanted to see in the submission of many tribes, dynasties and States. Here in different periods ruled by the Romans, the Byzantines, the Swabians, the Venetians and even the Arabs and the Spaniards. Before the city finally became part of the Italian Kingdom, its rulers were of the dynasty of the Bourbons.
From the city comes like a breath of antiquity, the atmosphere of narrow streets, paved with slabs back in ancient times, simply mesmerizing. Most administrative, residential and commercial buildings with dozens, or even hundreds of years of history. Despite the fact that Monopoli city not the small - a population of about fifty thousand inhabitants, and takes tourists for a long time here, even the beach has retained the flavour of antiquity and a sort of savagery. And the beaches there are for every taste, they are all located in three dozens of picturesque bays, each of which has its own characteristics.
Twice a year the residents hold celebration in honor of the patron of Monopoli Is the Madonna of the Madia case and it is connected with an ancient legend, according to which the local Bishop had a vision, it is the virgin Mary promised him a sacred icon to protect the city from all sorts of misfortunes. And the next morning in the city on an empty raft really has arrived the icon, true or not, but the locals tell the story all coming to town.
