I took a quick trip to Monopoli, a charming town on the Adriatic Sea, but my timing was bad. Several of the features I would have liked to see were closed from noon to 4 p.m.
Boats in an inlet beside Castello Carlo V, a seaside fortress from the 16th century.
A fisherman mending nets.
Shops like those all over Italy. I liked these.
A fisherman's hall had several exhibits, plus a dozen or so large, wonderful photos of fishermen.
Castello Carlo V had an exhibit of works by Dali, Miro, Ernst and others.
I don't remember which churches these were, but they were all closed.
A local artist had rented space in a former church to display his paintings.
This is the rear side of a big monument in the Piazza Vittorio Emanuelle II. (The light was better than in the front.) A big wreath is over the inscription on the other side, so I don't know what it is all about.
I rarely pass up a chance to photograph a nice deus chateaux.

Too bad you found so much closed here. One of my personal goals when traveling is to spend at least two nights in a place, that way you have one full day there. I have always loved the looks of the Citroen 2CV, but never want to own one as it is the most under-powered car ever made. I am still enjoying your photos.
My favorite country, Italy. I'm sure tou had a great time despite missing out on a few things.
