What makes Alberobello and Castel del Monte Private Day Tour from Rome a unique experience ?
Alberobello is a place to visit, above all because of the trulli, made of the local stone. Trulli is a word that derives from the Greek “tholos” (trans: “dome”), the typical shape of the buildings. Each whitewashed “trullo” is built with a lime or cement, and it is a piece of furniture that is connected to the kitchen and other rooms. The Trulli were strategically built to throw off the government to hide under the law and evade taxes, so they were meant to look like an uninhabited settlement. For this reason, the Trulls were built without mortar so they could easily be disassembled quickly if needed. Alberobello than anywhere else (more than 1000) and because of this town is now a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is an enigmatic octagonal fortress, built by Frederick II in the first half of the 13th century, has puzzled historians and researchers for centuries. A room in a seemingly illogical sequence, through eight towers around a central courtyard. Umberto Eco, used as inspiration for the riddles in The Name of the Rose. Considered as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
