alberobello


Alberobello, a charming town in Italy's Apulia region, is renowned for its trulli, the distinctive whitewashed stone huts with conical roofs that dot the landscape. These unique structures, which are a remarkable example of drywall (mortarless) construction, date back to the 1500s and are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trulli's clever design, featuring double-layered walls for insulation and a water collection system, reflects the ingenuity of their creators and offers a glimpse into the region's past. Today, Alberobello attracts visitors from around the world, eager to explore this enchanting part of Italy's architectural heritage.
