Alberobello: Architecture of Southern Italy

Explore the maze of the historic old town with its narrow alleyways and independent shops selling traditional wares. Or for something a little more unusual, head to the Viale Enrico Caruso where you can view the Valle dei Mulini. These abandoned stone mills were built at the bottom of the valley back in the 13th century and were in use up until the 1940s. You can also take a boat trip or simply enjoy sampling the local cuisine and a glass of limoncello. Read More...
