PhEST 2026, the eleventh edition of the international festival of photography and art, transforms Monopoli into an open-air gallery from August 7 to November 1. About twenty exhibitions of contemporary photography and art are set in the most evocative locations of the historic center, including Castello Carlo V, the former Monastero di San Leonardo, and the squares overlooking the sea. This year's theme, 'What If?', guides special projects with protagonists such as Vivian Maier, Roger Ballen, and Joan Fontcuberta. The opening takes place on Friday, August 7 at 7:30 PM at the Monastero di San Leonardo, followed by three days of meetings, live music, and screenings. Thanks to the partnership with the Grotte di Castellana, the festival ticket entitles you to a reduced rate for the underground tour.
