G. Palmieri 1783-86).<\/p>\n<p>At one time it was possible to reach the Cathedral by steps which passed in front of the Bishop\u2019s palace parallel to the great wall. In 1953 it was debated whether to alter the steps, creating a connecting tunnel under Piazza Manzoni. It was decided for technical reasons to expand the balcony and build a new arch (beneath the 19<sup>th<\/sup> Century structure) to extend the front of the Bishop\u2019s Palace with access to the tunnel.<\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-2'  data-version='5.12.82'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title yuzo__title'><h4>Potrebbe interessarti...<\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relatedthumb yuzo-list  \" style=\"\"  >  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/monopolitourism.com\/en\/2016\/02\/17\/19th-of-march-bonfires-of-san-giuseppe\/\" class=\"image-list\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap  ilen_shine \" style=\"width: 165px;height:130px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <span class='shine-effect'><\/span> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/monopolitourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/san-giuseppe-monopoli-300x200.jpg') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 170px;height:130px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size:  cover;  \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  class=\"link-list yuzo__text--title\" href=\"https:\/\/monopolitourism.com\/en\/2016\/02\/17\/19th-of-march-bonfires-of-san-giuseppe\/\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;;line-height:24px;\"> 19th of March \u2013 Bonfires of San Giuseppe  <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"yuzo_text\" style=\"font-size:12px;\" >The Saint of the bonfires\r\n\r\nIf you come to Monopoli in March, you cannot miss the traditional visit to the bonfires of San Giuseppe, a privileged saint who receives a devotional tribute with a fire ritual.
