Alberobello

Welcome to Locorotondo Where the Murgia slopes down, there is the Valle d'Itria, a green buffer halfway between the Adriatic and the Ionian and Locorotondo overlooks this plain, surrounded by small hills. It stands neat and silent on the top of a hill that surrounds the last Murgian buttresses of the Bari area. Harmoniously rounded as the toponym itself suggests, Locorotondo owes its name to the morphology assumed by the first inhabited center, built around the year 1000. The first huts of a village made up of farmers were built on an equipped plateau, leaning against each other, with a circular plan, as if to surround the land torn from oak and fragni woods to make it arable and fertile.
