Visit Alberobello

Visit to the historical centre. The area known as "Aia Piccola", is made up of approximately 400 trulloes, the majority of which are still used as residential dwellings. The name ‘Aia’ stems from the open space which was once used to work the grain.

Visit to "Casa D'Amore". A monument which has been declared as part of the World Cultural Heritage of UNESCO. It was erected immediately after the decree which freed Alberobello from the feuds. It was the first monument to be erected with mortar and without the classical trullo shape which had been imposed by the Acquaviva counts of Conversano right up until the XVIII century.

The ‘Basilica Minore’, which is dedicated to the ‘Santi Medici’ Cosma and Damiano, the patron saints of the city are some of the most worshipped saints in the whole of Apulia. The basilica depicts a neo-classical style and was built by the architect Antonio Curri.

Visit to the "Trullo Sovrano", the best example of a two story trullo, it has fireplaces, kitchen equipment and looms exemplifying the historic aspect of times gone by. Host to a large range of cultural activities.

The visit continues in the old town centre, ‘Monti’, which boasts more than 1000 trulloes along seven roads, a real example of incomparable beauty. Here, holidaymakers will be able to see many workshop owners demonstrating their wares until late in the evening. The tour ends with a visit to the church of St. Antonio, which is set in the heart of the ‘Monti’ area. The church was built in 1926 and commissioned by Antonio Lippolis.
