(Translated by Google) The main square, commonly called "Borgo" The "Borgo" was used as a meeting and living place for the city. Its size makes it one of the most beautiful and largest squares in Puglia even if divided in two by a central avenue. One of the two squares houses the one dedicated to the Fallen, inaugurated in honor of the Monopolitans who died in the First World War. At the feet of a colossal legionnaire with a drawn sword in one hand and a winged victory in the other, there is a mother who blesses her son who goes to war and another woman who comforts a widow and an orphan of a fallen soldier. Around it is the chain recovered from the anchor of the battleship "Benedetto Brin". On the other side, there is the fountain. Under the square there are air raid shelters whose underground tunnels served as a refuge during the British bombing during the Second World War. (Original) La piazza principale, comunemente chiamata “Borgo” Il "Borgo" venne utilizzato come luogo d’ incontro e di vita della città. Le sue dimensioni ne fanno una delle piazze più belle e grandi della Puglia seppur divisa in due da un viale centrale. Una delle due piazze ospita quello ai Caduti, inaugurato in onore dei caduti monopolitani della Prima Guerra Mondiale. Ai piedi di un colossale legionario con una spada sguainata in una mano e la vittoria alata nell’altra, vi è una madre che benedice il figlio che va in guerra e un’altra donna che conforta una vedova e un orfano di un soldato caduto. Attorno vi è la catena recuperata dall’ancora della corazzata “Benedetto Brin”. Dall'altro lato, vi è  la fontana. Sotto la piazza sono presenti dei rifugi antiaerei le cui gallerie sotterranee fungevano da rifugio durante i bombardamenti inglesi nel corso della Seconda Guerra Mondiale.

Large Square outside of the Old Town with shade trees and benches for people to sit. There is also a beautiful fountain in the center of our side of the square. Great place to spend time relaxing.

Big square in the centre of the city, 3 mins walk from the wonderful historic centre

Beware if you park here. Very poorly signed. Barstards gave us a €42 fine for parking here. Apparently you can’t park there between 5-8am on a Friday of all times. Looking at this picture, would would know?! Purely revenue raising. Ps. Square is nothing special. Whoever said it was the most beautiful in the world needs their head examined.

A very nice place with. Lots of excellent places to visit

(Translated by Google) Very wide and divided into two halves of equal width. At the center of one of the two is the imposing statue of the winner with the gladius in his right hand and a small bronze winged victory at the top of a beautiful beam. Bas-reliefs around the obelisk embellish the white monument. (Original) Molto ampia e suddivisa in due metà di uguale larghezza. Al centro di una delle due l'imponente statua del vincitore con il gladio nella mano destra e una piccola vittoria alata di bronzo alla sommità di un bel fascio. Bassorilievi intorno all'obelisco impreziosiscono il bianco monumento .
