In prehistoric times, this city was carved into cave and tuff rock on both sides of the Gravina canyon and is known as “Sassi di Matera,” which means the stones of Matera.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, Alberobello will leave you with a fairy-tale effect due to its uniquely shaped white houses and roofs. The Trulli houses are built with stones stacked without mortar.
