- I Trulli di Alberobello - World Heritage Site - Alberobello, in the region of Puglia in Southern Italy, is a strange and picturesque destination, which is becoming an important fixture on the travel itineraries of tour operators, as well as independent travellers. The small town has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage site for its unusual districts of trulli, the characteristic white-washed conical-roofed houses of the area. Looking like igloos, constructed out of pure stone, the beehive-shape structures, have origins that dates back to the 15th century and maybe older. The trulli, found nowhere else in the world, are built of local limestone, without any form of plastering, and with a cavity on the top and painted with mystical or religious symbols.

Alberobello is an intriguing destination, primarily due to the trulli, which are traditional dome-shaped structures crafted from local stone. The term “trulli” originates from the Greek word “tholos,” meaning “dome,” reflecting the buildings’ characteristic shape. Each whitewashed “trullo” is constructed without the use of lime or cement, featuring a conical exterior roof and a dome-shaped interior. The design includes a central square compartment that connects to the kitchen and other rooms through arcades. Historically, trulli were cleverly designed to deceive the government and avoid taxes by appearing as “uninhabited settlements.” Consequently, they were built without mortar, allowing for quick disassembly if necessary. Trulli can be found throughout the region’s countryside, but Alberobello boasts the highest concentration, with over 1,000 trulli. This abundance has earned the town a place on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
