Emerging from the fairy tale world, the heavenly town of Alberobello
Some say, the further south you go, ๐ The more you encounter the true essence of Italy. There lies a white paradise, hidden away, Alberobello, a name that rolls off the tongue ๐ฌ Like an incantation to unlock the realm of the fairies. ๐งโโ๏ธโจ The town's Trulli (dome-shaped houses) are world-renowned ๐ In 1996, UNESCO declared them a World Heritage Site. ๐๐ Alberobello, literally meaning 'beautiful tree' in Italian, Also known as the Alberobello stone houses, are constructed by locals ๐ทโโ๏ธ Using square limestone blocks to form cylindrical houses without columns or beams, Built to a certain height, then stacked upward with slabs of rock. Each slab tapers gradually to form a conical peak ๐ฐ Who would have thought such a distinctive architectural structure Was actually built by the locals to evade taxes! ๐ธ๐ซ It is said that each house has a stone that acts as a mechanism, Pull the stone, and the entire roof would collapse, So when tax collectors came, They could swiftly "dismantle" their homes to avoid taxes. ๐ ๐จ Who would have thought that this clever trick Gave birth to such a gentle and charming haven. ๐บ Row upon row of pointed-roof houses undulate and intermingle ๐ก Strolling along the tranquil "Heavenly Path" of the town, It feels like wandering through a magical village. ๐ณ๐ Touching the uneven walls, they bear the rings of time, Carrying the warmth from a century ago. ๐งฑ๐ฅ Set against the blue sky and white clouds, ๐โ๏ธ Pure as if untouched by the world, like an idyllic retreat. Immersed in this scene, it feels like being in a fairy tale world. ๐๐ฟ I think you should come and see this place. ๐๐ #MediterraneanTown #ItalianScenicSpot #CulturalAttractionsShare #MyDiary #TravelAroundtheWorld#Alberobello
