Alberobello
随意以自己的节奏探索和发现
停留:2 小时 30 分钟 - 不包含入场费
Trulli are a traditional style of house found only in Puglia. Made from local limestone, with thick walls and conical roofs, their design allows residents to control the interior temperature - an ingenious solution from the days before air conditioning. Founded in the 16th century, visitors can wander around the town, admiring the unique architectural style that dates back to pre-history. Several have been converted into museums or shops to further educate visitors about the tradition. The history behind Alberobello's settlement, and their choice of using Trulli is particularly humorous - the houses could be dismantled at a moment’s notice to fool the authorities into thinking Alberobello was not an inhabited settlement so locals could evade taxes.

Founded around the 11th century as under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monastery of St. Stephen in Monopoli, the town became the estate of feudal lords for 500 years, ushering in an increase in population, housing development, and the construction of the walls and castle. The town’s last feudal lords, the Dukes of Martina Franca, remained in Locorotondo until the beginning of the 19th century. The town has a handful of landmarks, such as the 18th century Mother Church of St. George the Martyr, with its 14th century bas-reliefs, and the Romanesque church of Our Lady of Greece, but its true beauty lies in the historic centre’s labyrinth of white-washed alleys. The houses are topped with unusual pitched roofs called "cummerse", a feature typical of the historical centre of Locorotondo. From the city’s perimeter, visitors can enjoy views of the countryside, dotted with trulli dwellings, interspersed to facilitate the development of vineyards.
This isn’t a guided tour but your ride will be rich with stories and discoveries along the way. And throughout the day, your driver will be available for you as needed, ready to assist, happy to help, making your trip stress-free.
Guided tours or entry tickets to paid attractions should be purchased separately
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.
