I found it! A real-life fairytale town
Who can relate? I accidentally came across a breathtaking place, Alberobello in Italy, known as the "Paradise Town," and it's not an exaggeration!!
📍Located in Apulia, Bari, Italy, it has a population of only about 10,000, but its Trulli architecture is world-famous! The earliest stone houses can be traced back to the 12th century, but when people started living there is unknown. In the 16th century, many refugees fled here and built houses with limestone. In 1797, the refugees petitioned the king to allow the legal existence of these easily demolished dome stone houses, which led to the unique Trulli village we see today.
Walking into the town is like stepping into a fairytale world! Under the blue sky and white clouds, the white-walled, gray-tiled dome houses are scattered, and the stone houses on the street are decorated with blooming flowers, with a faint floral fragrance in the air. The retro handicraft shops and European-style street lamps exude a romantic and bourgeois atmosphere.
The most distinctive feature here is the thousands of Trulli houses, circular houses without columns or beams, with pure white walls and roofs made of layered rocks. Every detail is full of primitive and simple texture, making it a great place for photos📸
Walking on the "Paradise Path," with the clear blue sky above and the ancient stone road beneath, surrounded by colorful flowers, it feels like a fairy might jump out of the flowers at any moment🧚♀️ This is not the real world, but a magical village!
In addition to the charming street scenes, there are many must-see attractions in the town:
⛪The Church of Saint Cosmas and Damian, built in 1609, later expanded in the Renaissance style, solemn and magnificent.
⛪The Church of Saint Anthony, built in 1926-1927, is a typical Trulli style, with a 21-meter-high dome and a Greek cross, unique and cool.
🏘️Rione Monti, with thousands of Trulli-style buildings on the hillside, has many interesting shops to explore all day long!
🏠The Sovereign Trullo, built in the 18th century, is one of the few two-story Trulli-style buildings, with local living items on display, allowing you to learn more about the town's history and culture.
I'm really moved! When I have the chance, I must visit this fairytale town!💕
