⚡The Unique Trulli: Italy’s Stone Marvels⚡
Discover Italy’s iconic dry-stone huts in Apulia
The trulli (sg. trullo) of Italy’s Apulia region are UNESCO World Heritage-listed, traditional dry-stone huts with distinctive conical roofs.
Built without mortar, these unique structures date back to the 14th century and were originally used as homes and storage for farmers. Their iconic design, which allowed them to be easily dismantled to avoid property taxes, has made them a symbol of Apulian originality.
Today, communities like Alberobello are famous for their neighborhoods of Trulli, drawing visitors from around the world to admire this architectural wonder.
