Mushroom Village

Travel across Italy to the Alberobello region to see the Taurelli Stone Houses of Alberobello, the only one of its kind in the world. This place was originally a barren land with the worst natural conditions. The earliest stone house can be traced back to the 12th century, and it is impossible to verify when people began to live here. The thousand-year-old village under the afterglow is the only one in the world that still retains its traditional architectural structure and style. The architectural style of Taoerli stone house is to use square limestone blocks to form a circular house without columns and beams. It is built to an appropriate height and then piled up with flaky rock pieces. Each piece gradually narrows and caps the top to form a conical spire. This is one of the most primitive ways of building houses for humans. It is said that it was built by local people in order to evade taxes. When collecting taxes, they removed the roof to indicate that no one lived there.
