What Are Trulli Houses?<\/h3>\n

A trullo<\/strong> (plural: trulli<\/em>) is a traditional dry-stone house built entirely without mortar, featuring a distinctive conical roof<\/strong> made from local limestone.<\/p>\n

These structures date back to the 14th century and are found mostly in the Valle d\u2019Itria<\/strong>, particularly around Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Martina Franca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Originally used as farm dwellings or storage huts, trulli are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites<\/strong> – living monuments to Apulian ingenuity and identity.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Every trullo is built by hand using stones from nearby fields, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature.<\/p>\n
