Another one of the hidden gems of the city of trulli is the restaurant Il Trullo d 'Oro (Via Cavallotti 27). You can enjoy wine and enjoy the sunny cuisine of the Apulia region in the trattoria Amatulli (a liter of wine from 4 EUR, dishes from 15 EUR, Via Garibaldi 13).

They say that the service in the latter is horrible, but the fashion does its dirty work, so in the evenings it can not get through.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Alberobello

The trulli zone in Alberobello is divided into two parts: the less commercial Rione Aia Piccola there are fewer cafes and shops here) with about 400 trulli, and Rione Monti, where there are about 1000 charming houses. In many of which, by the way, people still live.

It is worth saying a few words about the appearance of these fabulous shelters in the world. The trulli are completely constructed of stone, without the use of any materials for the hitch. The roofs are made in the form of cones (this is what the name of the trulli came from), at the top, like the Christmas trees, are the stars, and the zodiac signs are painted on the roofs themselves. The first trullo was built around the 14th century, and in 1925 a law was issued banning their construction. Although they say that it is possible to buy a trulli house as a dacha, to this day.

As the story goes, the erection of such buildings was not at all the spontaneous quirks of the population of Apulia . The fact is that during the Spanish rule the law forbade feudal lords without approval of the authorities to build on their own land any more or less serious homes . Trullo and was a way out of the situation: before the visit of officials such a house was very easy to disassemble . Since such houses were created without the use of a binder solution, only three horses , the which took out a single stone at the base of the roof, so that the house collapsed . "Having disassembled" half an hour of half a village, the King's inspectors always opened one valley with piles of stones .
From May to October in Alberobello becomes crowded with guides and tourists with mirrors, capturing all the trulli houses, creating queues in trulli shops and snatching out all the cold beer in trulli bars

In the Alberobello trulli zone you can simply hang about, looking at quaint buildings, running into a cafe and souvenir shops, or you can look into the so-called local attractions . For example, in Trullo Sovrano . This house is located in the modern part of the city, as it was built in the 18th century . And the label of the "monument "He went for two floors - this is the only two-story trullo that was built by a prosperous family of a local priest . Today in Sovrano there is a small museum, the main exposition of which is the Trullo interior itself, giving an idea of ​​how one can live in the" country of the Lilliputians " Alberobello . In d 1, 5 EUR, opening hours: 10-18: 00 . Address: Piazza Sacramento .
