Description
Alberobello is a small town famous for its unique trulli constructions and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The main quarters of the town, Rione Monti and Aia Piccola, are entirely made up of trulli lining the uphill lanes.
The name of the town derives from the Latin, Sylva Arboris Belli (wood from the tree of war), after an oak tree which once lay nearby.
It seems to have been founded in the XV century by the Acquaviva family, the Counts of Conversano; but it was only from 1635 that the town really began to develop, under the influence of Count Giangirolamo II, called "the squint-eyed".
