The Trulli of Alberobello
The trulli , limestone dwellings found in
the southern region of Puglia, are 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.
