One of the most lively part of Monopoli is Garibaldi square in the heart of the old town, lined with cafes, restaurants, and bars. Piazza Garibaldi, currently the main tourist attraction in the city's old centre, for its beauty and sophistication, cultural interest and the presence of the most popular venues, derives historically from the silting up of the ancient port basin by the Normans around, according to sources, 1049.

The Rupestrian Church of the Holy Spirit is a real hypogeum church divided into three naves, marked by columns and round arches and closed by as many apses.

We loved this bicycle tour of the countryside with Leo. We stopped at the cemetery on the outskirts of town and also at the cave Church of the Holy Spirit and a masseria. We sampled many different foods found along the way including almonds, cactus fruits and figs. The tour was such fun and very informative, the time flew by.

Piacere di approfondire la conoscenza del territorio di monopoli oltre al mare. In bicicletta con Leonardo masserie fortificate, chiese rupestri e ulivi millenari davanti ai nostri occhi. Davvero bello!

Esperienza suggestiva, la nostra guida Leonardo ci ha supportato e sopportato perché il caldo è stato veramente tanto, ci ha condotto per questa campagna meravigliosa, piena di ulivi e muretti a secco accompagnati dal frinire delle cicale, visita a chiesetta rupestre e una cripta molto carine. Alla fine ci ha ritemprato con un ottimo gelato a Monopoli. Grazie a Leonardo e grazie ad Anna Rita Maracchione per avermi spedito tutti i pdf informativi sulle loro attività. Velo Service vi contatterò più avanti per Matera. Ciaaaoooo
