Alberobello

Located in the province of Bari, in the Itria Valley, Alberobello is a place that’s absolutely worth a stop during any trip to Puglia. This charming village, with its almost mystical allure, offers a timeless atmosphere that captivates every visitor.

Trulli and Alberobello — an inseparable pair. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, these iconic buildings form a settlement unlike any other in the world. They feature a cylindrical limestone base, whitewashed with lime, topped by a distinctive conical stone roof. The color palette that unfolds before your eyes is simply breathtaking: the bright white of the walls and the soft gray of the roofs stand out against the deep blue sky.

Most of the trulli are clustered in the Rione Monti district — there are as many as 1,030 of them, in all shapes and sizes, perfectly lined up along the edges of the narrow streets. As you move from one district to another, take a break in one of the town’s trullo-restaurants to taste the local specialties. And if you're looking for a truly unique experience, spend a night in a trullo and immerse yourself in the true essence of the region.
