Nestled in the Itria Valley of Bari, Italy, Alberobello is a town that seems plucked from a fairy tale, with over 1,000 round, whitewashed cottages known as trulli. These unique structures, topped with conical roofs, have earned the site its UNESCO World Heritage status. The trulli, with their distinctive limestone walls and stone-slabbed domes, create a striking visual landscape. Visitors can wander through the narrow, winding streets, exploring the charming, compact interiors of these historic homes, which now serve as shops, restaurants, and even accommodations, offering a glimpse into a centuries-old architectural tradition.
