The initiative originated due to the partnership between the City of Monopoli and the Diocese of Conversano-Monopoli, aims to guarantee the continuous and organic opening of the most important churches in the city, making them available to visitors.<\/p>\n

All sites (Amalfi, San Francesco d’Assisi, Purgatorio, San Leonardo and Santa Teresa) will be open from 5pm to 9pm. Basilica Cathedral will extend the afternoon hours, opening until 10pm.<\/p>\n
