Italy alberobello city

Alberobello, Italy is a small town in the region of Puglia (Apulia) in southern Italy, famous for its unique and picturesque trulli houses. These are traditional limestone dwellings with conical roofs, often whitewashed and decorated with symbols. Alberobello is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the architectural and historical significance of these structures.

Key Highlights:
• Trulli Districts: The two main trulli areas are Rione Monti (more touristy, with shops and cafes) and Aia Piccola (more residential and authentic).
• Trullo Sovrano: The only two-story trullo, now a museum showing how people once lived inside these homes.
• St. Anthony Church (Chiesa di Sant’Antonio): A trullo-style church, adding a spiritual and architectural twist to the town.
• Local Crafts & Products: Handmade ceramics, olive oil, wine, and linen goods are common in local shops.
