Santa Maria Amalfitana

The Chiesa di Santa Maria Amalfitana, nestled in the old town of Monopoli, is a striking example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. Built in the 12th century, the church reflects the cultural influence of the Amalfitan community that settled in the area during the Middle Ages. With its elegant stone façade, vaulted interiors, and atmospheric cloister, the space evokes a sense of history, serenity, and timeless beauty.
In 2025, while Palazzo Palmieri undergoes restoration, the Chiesa di Santa Maria Amalfitana becomes the new headquarters of Monopolele – the Mediterranean Ukulele Festival.
Throughout the festival, the church will host the workshop program, instrument exhibitions, and the official welcome desk, transforming its ancient stone halls into a living celebration of music and community.
Open daily from 10:00 to 20:00 during the festival, the venue invites attendees to learn, explore, and connect in one of Monopoli’s most enchanting spaces.
