7. Alberobello
Alberobello is usually associated with striking cone-shaped homes. But despite its popularity, it’s still in our range of small Italian towns worth checking out. This adorable whitewashed town is home to the famous “Trulli,” particularly houses with a cone as the roof.
Thanks to its architecture, Trulli of Alberobello is a UNESCO World Heritage Site worth visiting while in the Puglia area. And while you might think there isn’t much to do since it’s a small town, Alberobello might just surprise you.
Walking around the little cobbled alleyways, you’ll see the Trullo Siamese, made of two cone-shaped roofs into another, and Trullo Sovrano, the biggest one. If you love scenic places, you’ll love the view from the Belvedere of Santa Lucia.
And since you’re already in this Italian town, Martina Franca, Cisternino, and Locorotondo are also fantastic sites to behold. While a car isn’t necessarily needed to explore all the natural landscapes this place offers, renting one might enhance your experience.
