Sample Chapter

Here is a sample chapter from The Mini Rough Guide to Puglia:

Alberobello

Alberobello is a town in the province of Bari, Puglia, Italy. It is famous for its trulli, traditional dry stone huts that have conical roofs. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The trulli of Alberobello are believed to have been built by peasants in the 15th and 16th centuries. They were used as temporary shelters during the summer months, when the peasants would move their flocks to the pastures. The trulli are made of local limestone and are typically whitewashed. They have small windows and doors, and the roofs are often decorated with religious symbols.

Today, Alberobello is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can explore the trulli, which have been converted into shops, restaurants, and hotels. The town also has a number of museums and churches.
