The local experience
The trulli quarter of Alberobello, on the slope south of the center, with about 1,030 dry-stone houses and cone-shaped roofs. Together with Aia Piccola, it forms the ensemble recognized by UNESCO in 1996.
The largest trullo in Alberobello and one of the rare two-storey ones, about 14 meters high. Built in the 18th century, it is a national monument and serves as a furnished house-museum.
Church built in 1926 and 1927 at the top of Rione Monti, in the shape of a trullo, with a 21-meter conical dome and a bell tower alongside.
The mother church of Alberobello, in Neoclassical style, with a porticoed façade and two twin towers, was designed at the end of the 19th century by local architect Antonio Curri. It houses the relics of the patron saints.
Museum set up in 15 trulli linked together, next to the Aia Piccola. It displays Alberobello's history, the trulli construction technique and rural life.
