As you wander through the charming streets with your guide, you'll marvel at iconic landmarks like the stunning Co-Cathedral Basilica of Maria Santissima della Madia, which was uncovered during archaeological excavations in 1986. You'll also visit the majestic Charles V Castle, perched dramatically on the coast, offering breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea. The castle's strategic location on the coastal strip furthest from the sea made it a crucial part of the region's historic fortifications. As you amble through the picturesque medieval streets, you'll notice the quaint lime-washed houses and ornate Baroque façades, which seem to blend seamlessly into the rugged coastline. Along the way, be sure to take in the panoramic views of the turquoise waters and secluded coves that dot the shoreline. To fuel your adventure, be sure to sample some of the region's authentic Monopoli specialties. The tour culminates with a leisurely seaside stroll, where you can reflect on the day's adventures amidst the soothing sounds of the waves.
