A Town Straight Out of a Fairy Tale
šLocation Alberobello is a small town in the Apulia region of Italy's Bari province, with a population of around 10,000. It's world-famous for its unique Trulli houses. šAbout the Town āThe earliest stone houses here date back to the 12th century, though no one knows exactly when people first settled here. By the 16th century, refugees fleeing disasters began building homes from local limestone. āIn 1797, refugees petitioned King Ferdinand IV of Naples to legalize these easily dismantled round houses, leading to the creation of Alberobello's iconic Trulli village. šTravel Tips āStep into this town where whitewashed, dome-topped houses against blue skies look straight out of a storybook. Flower-filled alleys filled with fragrance, vintage handicrafts, and European-style street lamps create an utterly charming atmosphere. āAlberobello preserves over a thousand Trulli houses - circular dwellings without beams or columns, with whitewashed walls and roofs made of stacked stone slabs that create beautiful textures. āStroll down "Largo Martellotta" (known as Paradise Lane), where Mediterranean skies arch above ancient stone paths lined with blooming flowers, making you feel like you've wandered into a magical village. #ItalyTravel #FairyTaleTown
