Alberobello Italy

Alberobello is a small town in southern Italy, located in the province of Bari. It is known worldwide for its characteristic trulli structures, and has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1996.

As a UNESCO world heritage site, Alberobello is a special place. It is known as the ‘Trulli of Puglia,’ and it is a small settlement built in the late 1400s by local farmers and shepherds. Its main features include the trulli homes – traditional Pyglian stone dwellings with conical roofs.

These unique constructions, made from limestone slabs without mortar, offer protection from the sun and rain while providing an efficient way to cool down during hot summer months. Some have been made into hotels – I stayed in a trulli in Apri 2023 and wrote a review about it.

The town is rich in culture and tradition, with many churches, bakeries, restaurants, and galleries. Visitors can wander through narrow cobbled streets lined with trulli, either in Rione Monti or the quieter Rione Aia Piccola district (the old town).

A narrow street features traditional white conical-roofed houses, potted plants, and two large barrels under a clear blue sky.

There are museums such as the Trullo Sovrano museum, and important religious buildings such as the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian and the Saint Anthony church. There are also lots of unique souvenir shops and rooftop terraces in the monti district.

In fact for such a small town, there are a lot of things to do in Alberobello. I recommend two days if you have the time, for a more leisurely experience (that would give you more time to try out the local restaurant scene too).

Q. What is Alberobello famous for?

A. Alberobello is most famously known for its unique trulli houses. Trulli are traditional limestone dwellings with a conical roof that were built in the 15th century by local farmers.

Q. Is Alberobello touristy?

A. Alberobello can be quite touristy, depending on the time of your visit. There are crowds of tourists and bus loads arriving each day – but they don’t stay long, usually about 1.5 hours. I recommend visiting before or after the high season. It is also a good idea to try to visit early in the morning, or late afternoon after the crowds have left.
