Alberobello
Alberobello was founded between 1400 and 1500. It is the only town in the world that took life as a town of cone-shaped, drywall trullis. In 1996, Alberobello was declared part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
Alberobello is the capital of the trulli country, and the old town, which has been decreed a national monument, is an important tourist attraction.
The principal quarters of the town are entirely made up of trulli lining the uphill lanes: a true fairytale scene which never fails to enchant visitors to this part of the region.
