About Alberobello & Locorotondo
Alberobello and Locorotondo are two white hill towns in Puglia's Itria Valley, known for cone-roofed trulli and a round, whitewashed old centre.
Alberobello is a town of trulli, round dry-stone houses with conical grey roofs, built without mortar. More than a thousand of them are packed into the Rione Monti and Aia Piccola districts, which are on UNESCO's World Heritage list. Some trulli are now shops and cafés, one is a church, and the two-storey Trullo Sovrano is a small museum.
