The historical town of Alberobello

Alberobello literally means beautiful tree because of its ancient heritage where it was and filled with oak and beech forestry. Alberobello was only discovered in the late 14th century and it was looked upon as fertile ground.
Many started to live in the area and worked on the land. However, due to some feudal tax feuds, many of the agriculturists were forced to make a makeshift, temporary shelter in Alberobello. Our guide will enlighten you with the historical changes of Alberobello as you tour through the town.

UNESCO treasured Trulli

Trullo may perhaps be one of the oldest forms of houses to have continued its purpose unto this day. It was first constructed with the purpose as a temporary shelter and soon it became a fixture permanent home and trulli (plural for trullo) are now recognized as UNESCO Heritage Site.
