Alberobello

Today, our wonderful Rotarian hosts from Taranto treated us to a visit to Alberobello. This little town is a fairy-tale experience! The charming little houses called trulli are found nowhere else in the world other than in this region of Italy. They are so unique that they have been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although today Alberobello is quite a tourist attraction and most of the trulli have been turned into gift shops, it is still a wonderful place to visit.
