The trulli, typical limestone houses of Alberobello in southern Puglia, are extraordinary examples of dry stone slab construction, a technique dating back to prehistoric times and still used in this region. Although rural trulli are scattered throughout the Itria Valley, the highest concentration of the best preserved examples of this architectural form is found in the town of Alberobello, with more than 1500 structures in the districts of Monti and Aja Piccola.
