- I Trulli di Alberobello - World Heritage Site - Alberobello is a place to visit, above all because of the trulli, made of the local stone. Trulli is a word that derives from the Greek “tholos” (trans: “dome”), the typical shape of the buildings. Each whitewashed “trullo” is built with a lime or cement, and it is a piece of furniture that is connected to the kitchen and other rooms. The Trulli were strategically built to throw off the government to hide under the law and evade taxes, so they were meant to look like an uninhabited settlement. For this reason, the Trulls were built without mortar so they could easily be disassembled quickly if needed. Alberobello than anywhere else (more than 1000) and because of this town is now a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Situated in the region of Puglia in South Italy, Alberobello stands as a unique and captivating destination, gaining significant interest from both tour groups and solo travelers. This quaint town has earned a place in the UNESCO world heritage sites. Resembling igloos, these beehive-like structures made entirely of stone, trace back as far as the 15th century if not older. Exclusive to Alberobello, these trulli can only be found in this part of the world. Emperor Frederick II, during the 13th Century, constructed a castle close to Bari bestowing it with symbolic meaning. This is apparent in its geographic location, the calculated precision of its layout mathematically and astronomically, and its exceptionally symmetrical form. It represents a blend of medieval warfare architecture, Islamic and European Cistercian Gothic styles.
