Overview

This Tour reconstructs the dossier for which Alberobello has been included in the Unesco Heritage List since 1996. We will visit the historically and architecturally richest areas and areas with trulli in history. We will almost be the eyes of the judges who chose Alberobello as a unique town in the world. We will not go to the more touristic areas, but we will look for the reasons why entire families populated the hills instead of the plains. Because there are different types of limestone in a trullo. Because it was built without mortar or cement. Who were the first inhabitants of the area. The tour is one of a kind and includes both an urban and a natural route.

  4. Trullo Sovrano
    20m · Admission ticket included
    This trullo, already from the name, indicates its majesty. In reality it was declared a National Monument as early as 1923. According to a document dating back to 1797 it was found that the trullo was built using mortar and consequently violating the provisions of the then count and local feudal lord Giangirolamo Acquaviva.

    In the early 1800s the trullo housed the relics of Saints Cosma and Damiano, Patrons of Alberobello, these had been brought from Rome by Don Cataldo himself, and subsequently from 1826 to 1837 it housed the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. The entrance ticket is included in the fee and we will take you inside to discover its secrets and what everyday life was like more than a century ago.
    The remaining time on the tour will be spent commuting between attractions and having free time.
