Unusual dome-shaped buildings dot the Apulian countryside, but it is in the enchanting town of Alberobello where is possible to find the largest concentration of the mysterious dwellings known as “trulli”. Found nowhere else in the world, these whitewashed limestone structures are pieced together without mortar, their pointed fieldstone roofs painted with fascinating symbols. Around 1300 trulli cluster Alberobello’s cobblestone streets, which are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage since 1996.
