Alberobello's Trulli Treasures
Alberobello is home to the UNESCO-listed trulli, dry-stone dwellings with conical roofs unique to the Itria Valley. This selection features the Trullo Sovrano, the only two-story trullo, and the Casa d'Amore, which marked the architectural shift from dry-stone to mortar construction in 1797.
