Alberobello is a small town in the Puglia region, characterized by its unique charm and historical significance. Located in the province of Bari, it sits on the picturesque Itria Valley, a landscape characterized by rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. The town’s name, meaning “beautiful tree,” hints at its lush surroundings and natural beauty, which perfectly complement its architectural uniqueness.
The history of Alberobello dates back to the mid-16th century when the area was settled by peasants under the directive of the Acquaviva family, who were the local feudal lords. To avoid paying taxes to the Spanish Viceroyalty, the lords instructed the settlers to build their homes without mortar, allowing them to be easily dismantled in case of royal inspections.
