Trulli are traditional Apulian dry stone huts with conical roofs, usually topped with decorative pinnacles. They are found throughout the region of Apulia, in southern Italy. The exact origins of trulli are uncertain, but they are believed to have originated from the prehistoric era, with evidence suggesting their existence since the 14th century.
Trulli were built using local limestone and typically consist of one or more small rooms arranged around a central living space, usually with a fireplace or wood-burning stove. The conical roof is constructed using a unique technique known as "shrink-pillar construction", in which overlapping limestone slabs are laid without mortar, giving the roof its characteristic dome shape.
Trulli were originally used as simple farmhouses or storage buildings, but many have now been converted into holiday homes or tourist accommodation, while others are preserved as museums or cultural artifacts. In 1996, the trulli of Alberobello, a town in Apulia, were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Today, trulli are a symbol of Apulian architecture and a popular attraction for tourists visiting the region. Many visitors come to admire the unique construction and intricate decorative details, while others enjoy staying in a trullo as a unique and memorable experience.
