Alberobello is known as Capital of Trulli which has designated a UNESCO world heritage site.
Trulli are typical small stone houses with conical shaped roofs. There are more than one thousand trulli in Alberobello scattered in the winding roads of the town. They offer a wonderful view in an area which has been declared part of the national heritage: Monti district, Aia Piccola district, the Siamese trullo, the sovereign trullo and D’Amore house are all to be found there.
You can enjoy Trulli atmosphere either by shopping or having dinner inside.
A wonderful rural culture rich in simplicity and kindness, honesty and propriety is to be found in the inhabitants of the trulli area, who are always willing to invite tourists to visit their houses.
Other very nice places to visit are the Mother Church, with its two bell towers, and the local wood.
At almost 5 kilometres on the way to Noci one can find the 6th century Barsento Church.
