Sights of Southern Italy - Trulli

One of the most interesting type of residence is the trullo. They were originally rural houses in the Puglia and Murgia regions of Italy. Today, most have been modernized on the inside to look like any other home. They fascinate me as they are scattered all around Martina Franca, Locorotondo, and Alberobello which I pass by every time I go to Grottaglie to work.

The original trullo is round although sometimes several are connected with modern day room additions

The room is characteristic and there are still craftsmen to repair them when needed
