Meet the Alberobello's slammers this summer vacation
One more week, we continue with more Italian destinations to fall in love with. Today’s destination is a small place, but with a lot of charm. We are talking about Alberobello, in the south of Italy. From Ice Tech we make a brief summary so you don’t miss anything.
Alberobello.
Probably this name doesn’t ring a bell, but it is one of the 51 Italian places included by UNESCO in the World Heritage List thanks to its “trullos” (slammers).
The birth of the slammers goes back to the time of prehistory where, in the Itria Valley, settlements and constructions were given, which in most cases were used to bury the deceased ones. Its name means dome and refers to these old constrictions with conical shapes made of dry stone and painted in white colour.
Currently, the oldest ones are in Alberobello (14th Century) and are 100% habitable. A good example may be the neighbourhood of Monti, where these constructions abound. Such is the importance of these constructions that even the town church is formed by them.
However, to fall in love 100% with it you have to see these beautiful views from Monte Rione.
In addition to these curious constructions, there are millions of things that you cannot miss out. One of them are the olive oil and wine museums, as well as the crafts with created there. They are astonishing!
Of course, it is a village where tranquillity and contact with nature re assured, so if you want to rest, this is your ideal destination.
Traveling to Italy is one of those things that you should do at least once in your life. So don’t think about it any more. Book a flight and live the Italian experience by the hand of Ice Tech.
