Alberobello is a small town in the province of Bari, in Puglia, Italy famous for its trulli structures, traditional Apulian dry stone huts with conical roofs. While Alberobello has been part of UNESCO World Heritage Sites list since 1996, not so many travellers know of its existence in Italy. However, it has just recently attracted the interests of travellers who prefer to get off the beaten path.
