Alberobello is a small town and commune in the province of Bari, in Puglia, Italy. It has about 11,000 inhabitants and is famous for his unique trulli constructions. The Trulli of Alberobello are part of the Unesco World Heritage since 1996. This part of Italy isn't on the itinerary of most tourists.
There are about 1000 trulli outside of the town of Alberobello itself.
Seldom do you see just one lonely "trullo" by itself. (When you have more than one "trullo" they are called "trulli").
As a family grows so does their tiny one room house. A new "trullo" is nestled right up beside the first one, naturally, with an opening made in their common wall to connect the two.
Later, if the family wants even more room, it's simple, just add another one, then another, each with its very own pointy headed roof.
Some have also added lofts under their roofs.
