Trulli are traditional stone dwellings found primarily in the region of Puglia, Italy. Characterized by their conical roofs made of limestone, these unique structures are often painted white, giving them a distinctive appearance. The construction technique dates back to the 14th century, and the buildings were originally designed to be easily dismantled to avoid taxes. The town of Alberobello is famous for its concentration of trulli, which have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. Visitors are drawn to the charming streets lined with these historical homes, which often feature decorative symbols on their roofs, believed to have protective meanings.
