Abstract: Theoretical foundations for the existence of magnetic monopoles are given. Consequences extracted from cosmological and astrophysical considerations on the abundance of magnetic monopoles today are reviewed. The latest experimental results in the search for classical monopoles as well as for grand unified monopoles are summarized.
