In the south of Italy, on the Adriatic coast, lies the small fairy town of Alberobello. Its name comes from the Latin words "arbor" and "bellum", which are translated as "tree" and "war".

In the distant past, oak groves, used for the production of reliable military mechanisms, grew on this place. Today, having arrived in this city in the province of Bari, you can buy not only a mandatory South Italian tan, but a lot of impressions. A trip here can be an unforgettable highlight of your trip.
The town was famous for its unique white-stone city buildings - Trulli (trulli). What is it? Trulli are small houses with an obligatory conical roof. After all, in translation, "trulli" is a dome.

Such structures are not found anywhere else in the world and therefore for their uniqueness were included in the 1996 list of UNESCO's cultural heritage.
