Hiking
After several heavy Allied bombings on Monopoli, air raid shelters were built 8 meters below Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II for the civilian population. They consist of 2 tunnels that connect the ends of the square diagonally and could accommodate 4,200 people. Monopoli was a target of Allied forces because of its heavy petroleum industry and port. The complex was not completed until 1943, when Monopoli was already under American and British control.
