The symbol of the Itria Valley
One of the most significant, interesting and fascinating experiences that Puglia can offer is certainly a visit to a trullo, symbol of the Itria Valley.
Alberobello is the emblem of this and represents the perfect location to come into contact, even for the first time, with this type of architecture.
The trullo is one of the architectural masterpieces of the past, famous for being a modular construction and for being built dry, without the use of particular mortars or binders. It is characterized by a circular plan and a conical roof, made entirely of local limestone, expertly carved and completed by the terminal pinnacle.
A unique dwelling, which was used as a temporary shelter or as a permanent home by small landowners or agricultural workers.
