Trulli Tour of Unesco Recognition in Alberobello
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.
