1 h, two people, the fisherman and the guide

The harbor, fishing, the ‘Lame’, the rock settlements and the peasant life. These elements are at the base of the town of Monopoli and hence the project ‘Cutting through the sea, between history and traditions’. Through four itineraries we invite you to discover the Monopoli from the coast to the countryside. The sea will be the path on board a ‘Gozzo’ (a typical local fishing boat) and described by the tales of wise fishermen. The historic borough, the countryside and the farms will reveal the combination of a sea-rural civilization in every period of the year.
