Itria Valley, Karstic valley between Bari, Brindisi and Taranto provinces, Italy

The Itria Valley features limestone formations, olive groves, vineyards, and scattered trulli houses with conical roofs throughout its countryside terrain.

The valley's name originates from Madonna Odegitria, venerated by Basilian monks who established a monastery using natural caves in medieval times.

The Festival della Valle d'Itria in Martina Franca presents opera performances and musical events during summer months within baroque architectural settings.

Visitors can explore the valley by car or bicycle through a network of roads connecting towns like Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Martina Franca.

The traditional trulli construction method involves stacking limestone blocks without mortar to create circular structures with removable keystone roofs.
