Trulli & Sassi : Unesco World Heritage Sites
In a dreamlike landscape, walk through the trulli of Alberobello, limestone dwellings, remarkable examples of drywall construction with conical-shaped roofs, a technique which dates back to the prehistoric era and still in use today .The narrow lanes of the historic center of Alberobello are lined with more than 1,500 trulli, most of them in perfect condition. Reach Matera, famous for its very peculiar settlements carved into the tuff rock, the Sassi and the park of the Rupestrian churches. A walk through the historic center will transport you back into the past. This is the most outstanding, intact example of a troglodyte settlement in the mediterranean region. Both are protected and were named a Unesco World Site.
