Chiesa di San Pietro

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, located in Monopoli’s historic center, is one of the city’s oldest churches, dating back to 329 AD. Originally dedicated to Saints Peter and Bartholomew, it features a Romanesque style, a white marble façade, and a simple interior with three naves separated by Corinthian columns. Though closed for worship, it remains a vibrant cultural hub. Since the first edition of Monopolele in 2022, the church has been a key venue for open-mic sessions, special events, and free Ukulele 101 sessions, introducing beginners to the joy of ukulele playing. Highlights include the sunset concert by Giovanni Albini and Davide Donelli (2022), a special performance by Silvana Bruno (2023), and a lively balfolk event in 2024, blending traditional folk dances with ukulele music.
