Travel to the UNESCO–listed town of Alberobello — famous worldwide for its cone-shaped houses, or ‘trulli’. These fascinating dry-stone constructions were originally built as shelter or housing by peasants and shepherds, and many are still lived in today.
On arrival, explore the streets of Alberobello and admire the architecture for which the town is famous. Step inside the ‘trulli’ — some renovated, others not — and listen as your guide sheds light on the region’s colorful past.
Visit a small chapel dedicated to the saints and doctors of the Rione Monti in Rome, and stroll past artisan shops where tradespeople sell their wares. Then, head up the hill to the Church of St. Anthony — also built in the local ‘trullo’ style.
During your tour, sample sweet treats made of almond paste and rosolio — a traditional Italian liquor derived from rose petals. Then, when your time in Alberobello comes to an end, return to Bari
