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. Due to high taxes imposed by the king, the locals built their homes this way, demolishing the conical roofs when royal officials arrived for inspections by pulling a string inside.
