Trulli Country Attractions Zona dei Trulli

Between Locorotondo and Martina Franca is the Valle d'Itria, also with numerous trulli.

Alberobello (428m/1,412ft; pop. 10,000) is a picturesque little town with more than 1,000 trulli in the Zona Monumentale, including the church of Sant'Antonio, a modern building built in trullo style, and the two-story Trullo Sovrano in the north of the town, the largest in Alberobello.

Two small towns in the Zona dei Trulli are Cisternino (394m/1,302ft; pop. 12,000) and Fasano (118m/389ft; pop. 37,000). Worth visiting is the park outside Fasano (1km/0.75 mi) which occupies an area of 80,000 sq.m. More than 600 animals (including lions) can be seen here. Close to Egnazia, 9km/5 mi north of Fasano, is one of the most important Apulian sites.

The little town of Locorotondo (410m/1,353ft; pop.13,000) is circular in plan.

Martina Franca (431m/1,422ft; pop. 44,000) is a town with charming Baroque buildings, for example the Palazzo Ducale (1669) and the collegiate church of San Martino (18th century).

At the southern end of the Zona dei Trulli close to the sea is Ostuni (218m/719ft; pop. 32,000), a picturesque little town with white, rustic houses; on a hill stands the late Gothic cathedral (15th century).
