Those who want to visit the most Italian town in Italy, have to go to Alberobello. Here, you can see one of the most remarkable architectural sights of the country. That’s a complex of miniature houses, trulli. These stone houses with conical roofs were constructed more than 700 years ago. Some of them are unchanged since times, when they were built. For hundreds of years, a small town has managed to preserve the unique spirit of provincial Italy. The picturesque town is always filled with sunlight and shining smiles of local people.
The rhythm of life is as leisurely and measured, as hundreds of years ago. The architecture is as beautiful as in time of its creation. An area of the old town is about 40 square km; about 11 000 people are permanently residing in its territory. Travellers visiting the town have to consider that the main activity here is walking. You can not only admire the ancient architecture, but also look into the nice shops and handicraft stalls. They offer a lot of unique things to their customers.
There are also attractive local restaurants, where numerous dishes are cooked following old recipes. Many experienced travelers tend to visit Alberobello on September, 27. This day, one of the most important national holidays, feast of the patron saints, Cosmas and Damian, takes place in town. Streets are always filled with music and fun. Alberobello hosts solemn processions, as well as exciting outdoor and gastronomic events.
