Dry-stone construction
The Trulli of Alberobello1996
UNESCO World Heritage
It is said that trulli were built using the drystone method so that they could easily be dismantled and moved by their owners, to avoid paying the taxes set by the Kingdom of Naples. They were actually illegal until 1797, when King Ferdinand IV declared Alberobello a royal city.
