MONOLITH is a proposed massive magnetized tracking calorimeter at the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy, optimized for the detection of atmospheric muon neutrinos. The main goal is to test the neutrino oscillation hypothesis through an explicit observation of the full first oscillation swing. The sensitivity range for this measurement comfortably covers the entire Super-Kamiokande allowed region. Other measurements include studies of matter effects, the NC/CC and neutrino/anti-neutrino ratio with atmospheric neutrinos and auxiliary measurements from the CERN to Gran Sasso neutrino beam. Depending on approval, data taking with part of the detector could start in 2005. The MONOLITH detector and its performance are described.
