World Cultural Heritage: The Fairy Tale Town of Trulli Mushroom Houses in Italy Alberobello is a small town in the province of Bari in the Puglia region of Italy, located on two small hills that are not very high, known as 'Heaven Town' and 'Mushroom Town'. It is famous for its Trulli architecture: white lime walls and grey stone blocks make up the conical roofs of the round dome stone houses, which are unique to the local residential buildings. One interesting theory about Trulli architecture is that in the 17th century, residents fought against the authorities to 'save on taxes'. As soon as a house was completed, property tax had to be paid, but the structure of the round dome stone houses allowed residents to easily dismantle a part when officials came to inspect, indicating that the house was not yet finished, thus 'saving on taxes'. As a typical representative of prehistoric architectural technology without mortar, in 1996, the round dome stone houses of Alberobello were listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO 🚗 About Transportation Since it is a self-driving loop, we drove from Amalfi at about 8 am and arrived in Alberobello after more than 4 hours.

Our itinerary was Amalfi-Alberobello-Matera. So we didn't stay in Mushroom Town that day. 🅿️ About Parking There are many parking lots around, with different charges. We found one that charges per time, 5 euros/time, with spacious locations.

First, we went to the church and the sovereign stone houses on the left side of the main street, then came down for lunch, and strolled through the mushroom house cluster on the right side. There are various shops. The white houses are particularly photogenic; actually, there are no special photo spots, it feels like the whole town is very picturesque wherever you shoot. The overall commercialization of the town is still a bit severe.
