Alberobello

Alberobello is one of the most interesting places in Apulia, in southern Italy. It has been made a UNESCO World Heritage site, because of the unusual 'houses' - trulli . It has a special style of construction. It is a type of dwelling with a conical roof , built from the local limestone.
In the same time it is an example of Italian folk architecture.

You can also stay in one of the trulli. Some of them serve as an accommodation, others are used as small museums, which are furnished.

Alberobello is a small, typical Italian town, with some narrow streets and fascinating buildings.
There are plenty of opportunities for buying souvenirs or tasting local products.
As you can suppose, the major tourist activity in Alberobello is walking between the trulli and just admiring the scenery. :)

There is an area composed of trulli ....  really  picturesque place.
