And as you can see, I had the streets to myself :-) These trulli are limestone dwellings that are found in the southern region of Puglia. They are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.

After having parked the car not far from this old part of Alberobello, I walked into the old city. It was late in the morning and the sun was burning hot. I was one of the few tourists walking through the streets at that time. Everyone else was more clever and waiting for the hottest part of the day to be over.
Yes, I am crazy to walk here now, I know. But this way I have the city for myself and I don't have to work my way through the heaps of tourists, which I find a great advantage.

At the top of the hill is this church, described as the world's only Trullo Church.

Up the hill along the "main" street almost to the top, is the square with the church and the town hall. They are modern in creation and are in trullo-style. One passes numerous shops along the way.

The main ttraction of Alberobello is its unique architecture composed of these weirs little houses called Trulli. A couple of hours visiting the town will be quite enough.
