Alberobello - BA - Bari
Puglia
Puglia has glorious architecture, particularly in the churches and castles of the north. The curious trulli houses in central Puglia, the florid Baroque of Lecce, and the Levantine atmosphere of its merchant cities complete the picture of an ancient land subject to more influences from outside the Italian peninsular than from within it.

Visit to the “Museo del Territorio”, made up of communicating and wholly restored trulli; the museum explains the building techniques of these square structures with conical roofs, as well as the artistic and handicraft traditions associated with the life of local people.
