Trullo, Dry stone huts in Alberobello, Italy

The circular trulli houses feature thick limestone walls and conical roofs constructed without mortar, using locally sourced materials from the Itria Valley.

During the 17th century, residents built these easily dismantled structures to circumvent property taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Naples.

The limestone pinnacles adorning trulli roofs display Christian symbols and religious markings that reflect the spiritual traditions of Apulian inhabitants.

Visitors can explore over 1500 trulli houses in Alberobello, with many structures converted into restaurants, shops, and accommodations for tourists.

The thick stone walls of trulli maintain constant interior temperatures, providing natural cooling during summer and warmth in winter months.
