Alberobello is the unique capital of the
Trulli (traditional dwellings with conic roof made by limestone
put together without mortar) and Unesco world heritage site since
1996 thanks to the artistic and historical heritage present here.
Walking through the neighbourhoods of Aia Piccola and Rione Monti,
we will admire the picturesque cone shaped buildings and walk through
the incredible alleyways of this fairy-tale town. Visit to the Siamese
Trulli and the Master Trullo, the latter was built around 1700 and
is the only dwelling with more than one floor. Arrival at the heart
of the historic centre of Alberobello and visit to the Museum of the
Territory in a trullo complex.
Castel del Monte is an amazing place. It is a spectacular octagonal
XIV century castle built by Frederick II , that is Unesco world
Heritage site since 1996. The fascinating castle is in a spectacular
position dominating one of the highest hills of the Western Murgia.
