– I Trulli di Alberobello – World Heritage Site
The Trulli of Alberobello are unique, cone-shaped stone houses found only in this region of southern Italy. These traditional dwellings, built without mortar, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of Apulia’s charm. Walking through Alberobello’s trulli district feels like stepping into a fairy tale—perfect for photos and learning about local history and architecture.

– Trullo Siamese
The Siamese Trullo is one of the most curious and unique trulli in Alberobello. Unlike the typical single-cone structures, it features two connected cones and two separate entrances. According to legend, it was once shared by two brothers who fell in love with the same woman, leading to a dramatic family split.

– Parrocchia Santuario Basilica S.S. Cosma E Damiano
The Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian is the main church in Alberobello, dedicated to the town’s patron saints. Built in the late 19th century, the basilica features a neoclassical style and two impressive bell towers. It’s an important spiritual site for locals and a peaceful place to visit while exploring the town’s famous trulli.

– Centro Storico
Discover the captivating heart of Ostuni, “The White City.” Wander the labyrinth of its steep, narrow streets, lined with immaculate whitewashed houses that brilliantly reflect the Apulian sun. Founded by the Messapii and later a strategic Roman hub, its ancient roots date back over 2,000 years. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and ancient olive groves.

– Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta
Crowning the highest point of Ostuni, the Cathedral offers spectacular panoramic views from its surroundings. Its striking façade is famous for the magnificent and elaborate rose window, one of the largest in Puglia, with 24 intricately carved rays. Step inside to discover a dramatic contrast: a grand, sumptuous Baroque interior hidden behind the Gothic exterior. It is the undeniable architectural and spiritual heart of the White City.

– Chiesa di San Francesco
Located in the lower part of the historic center, the Church of San Francesco is known for its elegant Baroque façade, which replaced the original medieval structure. The church is attached to the former Franciscan Convent, now home to the Town Hall (Palazzo San Francesco). It’s a beautiful example of the architectural layers of Ostuni.
