This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its ancient and well-preserved architecture, which dates back thousands of years.

  Chiesa a Trullo di Sant’Antonio

  La Chiesa a Trullo di Sant’Antonio in Alberobello is a remarkable and unique church built in the distinctive Trullo architectural style. Constructed in 1927, this church stands out as one of the few Trulli-style religious buildings in the world. Its conical roof and whitewashed walls blend seamlessly with the surrounding Trulli houses, maintaining the town's characteristic charm.

• 7th Stop

  Trullo Sovrano

  Il Trullo Sovrano is the most famous and largest of the Trulli houses in Alberobello. Dating back to the 18th century, this remarkable structure is distinctive for its two-story design, which is unique among the predominantly single-story Trulli found in the area.

  The Basilica dei Santi Medici Cosma e Damiano in Alberobello is a striking example of Baroque architecture nestled in the heart of this charming town.

  Trulli Siamese

  The Trulli Siamese are a unique and fascinating feature of Alberobello, a town renowned for its traditional trulli structures. Unlike typical trulli, which are individual conical-roofed buildings, the Trulli Siamese are a pair of trulli that are physically connected, resembling Siamese twins. This unusual arrangement creates a charming and distinctive architectural anomaly, as the two structures share a common wall and roof but retain their separate interiors.
