Trullo Sovrano, Puglia, Italy

You can just imagine how people lived during this time....
This is the largest trulli in Alberobello and an example of what UNESCO describes for this World Heritage Site as “remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.” Trulli Sovrano is really a museum with original furnishings from the 19th century. It is housed on two floors with artifacts and historical pieces providing a glimpse of life during this period. There has been definite care in how these pieces have been put together. You can just imagine how people lived - cooked, cleaned, stored food and water and went about their business...

Great Museum!
We visited this museum with our children, so we could learn more about the history of Trulli life Alberobello. The museum is definitely worth a visit - don’t be discouraged by the walk uphill in the heat (if you are visiting during the summer). The museum shows what life was like during the 1800’s, complete with antique furnishings. It is interesting for adults and children. The woman working at the museum was very friendly and helpful. There is also a good selection of books in the museum in Alberobello and on Puglia in general. This museum is definitely a must see in Alberobello!

Should have gone to museum instead
The trullo is particular by its size and beautiful. Howeven, I tought we would not only have information about this trullo but also about trullos in general. It was not the case. Informations is a little bit uninteresting according to me... some descriptions about what they eat, where they sleep, etc.
