These gleaming habitations (whitewashed each year) are curious, rounded structures with cone-shaped, grey stone roofs. They are trulli, typical of the province of Bari, and are unique in all the world. A number of trulli are concentrated in the village of Alberobello, nearly forming a city. On a hilltop amid the scent of almonds and olives, the city's historical center was declared an International Human Resource by the Unesco organization. It is made up by a hundred trulli some 5 centuries old. The trullo church is something of interest as well as the Trullo Sovrano, a very large, two-story structure. In the old village, there are artisans at work producing ceramics and textiles still following the methods of their ancestors. A Walk on the White Side |
