Here’s your sign to visit Lecce, the gorgeous baroque city in Puglia. Often called the Florence of the south, this lovely city is full of history and even boasts a Roman Forum in the town’s centre that dates back to around the first century AD. This amphitheater remained undiscovered until the 1900s!

Just an hour’s train ride from Monopoli, Lecce is an easy city to visit on a day trip, but there’s also plenty to entice a longer stay!

Five reasons to visit Monopoli in the Puglia region of Italy 🇮🇹:
1. The Adriatic seaside - a mix of rocky and sandy beaches perfect for sunbaking (in my case sunburning 🤦🏼♀️) or swimming
2. The seafood - Puglia is home to some of the freshest seafood going around and Monopoli definitely showcases this in their wonderful restaurants. 🦞
3. The white-washed old town. Need I say more? This dreamy white town is the stuff dreams are made of.
4. The town’s churches are fascinating, particularly the purgatory church of Chiesa di Santa Maria del Suffragio where mummified remains are on display.
5. The stunning Monopoli Harbour where fishing boats line the waters and you can grab a takeaway spritz for 5 euro and watch the world go by!
