Trulli
The Trulli are an exceptional example of a building technique that has survived from prehistoric times until today. They are also an extraordinary example of man’s ingenuity and adaptability.
Trulli are built without using mortar: the stones are laid on top of each other. They are also characterized by their dome-shaped roofs. These roofs are in some cases painted with a magical or pagan symbol.
There are many legends about the origins of this construction style. Also it is said that this way of building makes it easier to quickly dissemble the house and relocate, or that in this manner taxes could be evaded.
