Know more about your day trip
Trulli are distinctive conical-roofed limestone dwellings unique to Puglia, especially abundant in Alberobello. Dating back to the 14th century, these UNESCO-protected structures were constructed using prehistoric techniques without mortar. Their whitewashed walls, stone symbols on rooftops, and ingenious construction make them architectural marvels that offer insight into traditional rural life.
Alberobello is famous for its dense concentration of over 1,500 trulli, particularly in the Rione Monti and Aia Piccola neighborhoods. Locorotondo, meanwhile, is known for its perfectly circular historic center with whitewashed buildings, flower-adorned balconies, and panoramic views of the Valle d'Itria countryside. Together, they offer complementary perspectives on Puglia's distinct architectural heritage.
In these villages, try Pugliese specialties like orecchiette pasta with turnip tops, burrata cheese, focaccia barese, panzerotti (fried dough pockets), bombette (meat rolls), and local wines like Primitivo or white Locorotondo DOC. Ask your driver for recommendations to authentic trattorias serving these regional delicacies.
Yes! In Alberobello, several trulli have been converted into museums, shops, or restaurants that welcome visitors. The Trullo Sovrano (two-story trullo) offers fascinating insights into historical living conditions. Some trulli owners invite visitors inside for a small fee.
Bring comfortable walking shoes for the uneven stone streets, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), water, and a camera for the photogenic architecture. Cash is useful at smaller establishments in these historic villages, which may not accept cards. A light jacket is recommended for cooler evenings, especially in spring and fall.
Early morning (7-9 AM) and late afternoon (4-7 PM) offer the most flattering light for photographing the trulli. The bright white structures create striking contrasts against blue skies. In Locorotondo, sunset provides golden light on the whitewashed buildings. Time your itinerary to take advantage of these optimal photography conditions.
