Alberobello and the Trulli tour
A visit to Alberobello, just 30 minutes inland from Monopoli, offers a journey into one of Italy’s most iconic and picturesque villages. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberobello is renowned for its “trulli”—white limestone houses topped with conical stone roofs, a unique example of rural Apulian architecture.
Guided tours reveal the history and legends behind these ancient dwellings, originally built without mortar and now carefully preserved.
You’ll explore the Rione Monti and Aia Piccola districts, filled with trulli still in use today, and visit craft shops and museums.
Many tours also include wine tastings or stops at local producers offering traditional olive oil, cheeses, or handmade souvenirs.
