The Church of Sant’Antonio in Alberobello stands at the edge of the Rione Monti district and is one of the most distinctive religious buildings in the area, recognisable by its characteristic trullo shape, entirely white in colour and featuring the typical conical roof.

Built in 1927, it stands as a symbol of the area’s identity, perfectly integrated into the landscape of the trulli. The entrance is preceded by a striking staircase topped by a rose window, which leads directly into the church, which has no vestibule.

The building has a Greek cross plan and richly decorated interiors. Among the most significant features are a fresco depicting saints, painted by Adolfo Rollo, and the image of Christ Pantocrator, which draws on Christian iconographic tradition. The side chapels are covered by ribbed vaults, whilst the bell tower rises as a tower-like structure.

The main dome, shaped like a trullo and approximately 21 metres high, dominates the entire building and is its most spectacular feature, making the church a unique example of the fusion between religious architecture and local building traditions.
