Today we visit the historically beautiful town of Alberobello, Italy. Located in the province of Bari, it is home to roughly 11,000 people and has been made famous by the unique, fairytale-like Trulli architecture present in the city and surrounding countryside. The city was designated as a Unesco World Heritage site in 1996 and is quickly growing in popularity.
The Trulli houses are identifiable by their conical shaped roofs made of mortar. The collection of the 1500 Trulli buildings in such a small area truly makes for a memorable visit. Though it is growing in popularity, most of the international tourists do not venture this far southeast, opting instead for the well known tourist attractions on Italy’s west coast. Most of the tourists we came across were Italians. If you visit Alberobello, I recommend staying in one of the Trulli Houses – You can easily find available lodging on any hotel booking website. Also, walk the town at night. It is almost devoid of people and the surrounding atmosphere is magical. Tomorrow we will take a look at Alberobello at night so be sure to come back! Today, I have a collection of street captures for you to enjoy

What an awesome collection of photos!! I have never seen houses built like that before. Very interesting post
. I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you too. Why don’t you have a “like” button on your blog?
Thanks you so much Cindy! Well… I am currently debating on what type of look and feel I want when I revamp my blog here in the next month. As you can see it is looking a bit rough as of late. I have a bunch of buttons down below, FB share, Stumbleupon, Pinterest… But no actual “like” button… What do you mean? I will take any and all input for the “remake” of this lil thing. Thanks for visiting and commenting, it means a lot
Sometimes when I look at someone’s blog a comment comes right to mind while other times I don’t have anything specific to say but I definitely want the person to know I enjoyed the post. So, I find the “like” button very handy. It’s also nice for you so that you can see the different people visiting your site. I just can’t remember where you find the “like” button in the settings LOL.
Great jobAdam, a fantastic series, that takes the viewer along with ya!! Lovely travel images, and a very cool town!!! Keep’m coming!!
This is such a fantastic series Adam, you are so talented!
Outstanding captures Adam! Really like the group portrait of the women and the tighter shots of the rooftops.

Adam I forgot I wanted to comment on Cindy’s comment regarding the “like” button. You’ll see that I have it on my blog and I think that is just automatic with certain WordPress blogs.

Wowsers Adam, what a GREAT set you’ve posted here! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s post with the night shots looks like! Amazing work here, my friend, I often think that someone has created this magical place specifically for you to photograph….
What a beautiful town – you can’t take a bad photo here! Nice series, Adam.
Great pictures; I like the people pictures, the old ladies are interesting.
This is right down the far south of Italy, I think? I recall some ‘snaps’ a friend brought back. I love the warm light in those last few images and the natural images of the local people. Excellent set, Adam
