Cultural customs, traditions and the religious heritage of the city have been preserved over time thanks to the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, French and even the Saracens and Turks, who have all left their footprint on the land. The most important celebration is the feast of the Madonna della Madia at dawn on the 16th of December and repeated on the 15th of August for those citizens who live abroad. In the magical atmosphere of the old port, a huge crowd of believers and curious people pay homage to the Byzantine icon who reached the shores of Monopoli by raft in 1117. Another interesting celebration is the patronal feast of the Santi Medici Cosma and Damiano during the first weekend of June. Their statues are carried in a procession and followed by a multitude of believers walking barefoot, dressed in dark colours and holding heavy candles as a sign of devotion and gratitude for the graces received. You can find local feasts and festivals throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>The timetable and the actual carrying out of the rites are subject to change and need to be verified.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1455710555501{padding-bottom: 0px
