Trulli - Rione Aia Piccola (UNESCO) — Attraction in Alberobello

In Alberobello, the houses are uniquely known as trulli, traditional Apulian dry stone huts with conical roofs. These distinct structures contribute to the town's charm, creating a whimsical and fairy-tale-like ambiance. The trulli are characterized by white-washed limestone walls and cone-shaped roofs made of overlapping grey stones. The roofs of the trulli in Parcheggio Alberobello showcase skilled craftsmanship, often featuring decorative pinnacles or symbols on the conical apex. The use of local stone not only gives the houses a rustic aesthetic but also helps regulate the indoor temperature, providing a cool refuge in the hot Italian summers.

The ambient surroundings in Parcheggio Alberobello reflect the authentic Apulian atmosphere. Narrow cobblestone streets wind through the trulli, creating a charming labyrinth to explore. There are cafes, artisan shops, and local markets, offering a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary experiences.
