Roman Catholic Diocese of Monopoli

The Italian Catholic diocese of Monopoli, in the province of Bari, existed from the eleventh century to 1986.

[1][2] The episcopal see at Monopoli was created in 1062, and its first prelate was Deodatus.

In 1118, the Diocese of Polignano, located in Polignano, a small town situated on a high promontory along the Adriatic, was united to this diocese.

The diocese was historically immediately subject to the Holy See, but came under the archdiocese of Bari.
