Alberobello is a historical city located in southern Italy. Original houses called "Trulli" (singular "Trullo") of Alberobello were submitted in 1996 on the UNESCO world cultural heritage list.
The history of this town dates from the second half of the 16th century when a few farmers have received the approval of the feudal family Acquaviva, Count of Conversano, to build homes here.
The city itself, situated 50 km from Bari, is quite small with less than 12,000 inhabitants. Their number increases considerably in peak season and weekends when the sites are visited by tourists eager to walk the streets of this historic seat.
