\nBordering Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Putignano, Noci and Castellana Grotte, Alberobello stands on a hill about 420 meters above sea level.The soil is mainly karstic and mixes with red soil\/clay, which is well suited to the cultivation of olive trees, almond trees, cherry trees and vines.<\/p>\n
\nThe trulli are small stone white houses without windows, or with a small, simple, square or rectangular window, with a gray cone roof.<\/p>\n
\nRione Aia Piccola<\/strong>\u00a0is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, whose name recalls a large open space that in the past was used for the beating of wheat. Currently this is the only area where there are no commercial activities, which makes it very suggestive.<\/p>\n
