Must to see in Valle d’Itria: Alberobello and Locorotondo

A tour to discover Alberobello and Locorotondo: 2 “jewels” of Itria Valley. The historic city center of Alberobello is an Unesco World Heritage site because of its trulli (there are more than 1.500): a unique kind of building with stone conical roof without any mortar that have survived quite intact and functioning into the modern world. Lots of them are still used as home and the others as restaurant, shop, tourist accommodation. A tour to discover the history of trulli, their architecture, the mystery and symbolism of their pinnacles. During the tour you will visit the two old districts of Trulli: Aia Piccola and Monti. If you like we can visit also the Trullo Sovrano (national monument) to understand how was life and furniture in the past in a typical trullo. A few km away from Alberobello we can admire the skyline of Locorotondo (its name comes from the circular lay out of its city center) and we will visit this picturesque hamlet famous for its wine and its whitewashed houses with “pignon” stone roof . It has been awarded with the Orange Flag (a recognition for the quality of tourism and the environment in small inland towns) by the Italian Touring Club.
Some idea for changes to the itinerary It’s also possible to extend / modify the tour with a meal in a typical restaurant; a cooking class; a winery (or some other typical product producer) visit with tasting of wine, extra virgin olive oil, cheese, Capocollo di Martina Franca ham, Ceglie Biscuits, etc.; a visit to Martina Franca, Cisternino, Castellana Grotte, Noci, Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica.
