Trani, a coastal town about 45 minutes by train from Bari. Trani is best known for its magnificent seafront cathedral.
The town’s origins trace back to the 3rd century, when it was recorded as “Turenum” in the ancient Tabula Peutingeriana. However, Trani’s most flourishing was between the 11th and 13th centuries as a key commercial hub and departure point for the Crusades. It had strong ties with Italy’s Maritime Republics and was home to southern Italy’s largest Jewish community.

Set on a natural terrace 410 meters above sea level in the Itria Valley, surrounded by countryside full of olive groves, vineyards, and trulli. Crowned “Borghi più belli d’Italia” (one of Italy’s most beautiful villages).
However, good thing about Locorotondo is the lack of determinable tourist attractions, this is a town to simply get lost in for a few hours.
Locorotondo’s historic center is small and well preserved. Its streets, lanes, small squares and white washed houses, are effectively the town’s key monument.

Until 1797, when Alberobello was finally given “town” status. On 24 May, King Ferdinand IV issued a royal decree declaring Alberobello a royal town and removing it from feudal control.

Alberobello as we see today was founded at the end of the 14th century, the law of the Kingdom of Naples required the payment of a tax for every new village built; the result, trulli’s design was to fiddle taxes and fool the authorities.
The local feudal lord; Count Acquaviva sent his workers here to clear woodland and cultivate the land. To avoid paying taxes, it was important that Alberobello didn’t class as an inhabited settlement, the people had to live in trulli, which could be dismantled in a hurry when necessary.

17th-century documents describe Alberobello’s inhabitants as fugitives from nearby towns, often debtors or troublemakers and for over two centuries, its people lived under feudal control without official status.
It’s believed that houses built without mortar could be demolished easily if the landowners wished to evict the tenants.
Only by 1630, Alberobello began to take shape as a settlement, marking the start of urbanization.

Frequently the houses consist of more than one trullo roof, they are more like trullo complexes crowded with several roof-cones.
Their roofs are often decorated with fanciful painted symbols supported to have superstitious significance. And the fanciful spire decoration was something of a status symbol, it showed the builders’ skill and therefore the status of the trullo’s owner.
