trulli of alberobello


The trulli of Puglia, with their conical roofs and limestone structures, are indeed a testament to the enduring drywall construction technique. These unique dwellings, often whitewashed and adorned with symbolic pinnacles, have been part of the region's landscape for centuries, reflecting a blend of historical influences and local ingenuity. Originating from a prehistoric building tradition, the trulli are not only a charming sight but also a symbol of cultural heritage, recognized by UNESCO for their architectural significance.
