1The Trulli Houses of Southern Puglia
Known for their distinctive conical rooftops, the limestone Trulli houses of Southern Puglia are a true fairytale sight you must experience in Italy.
The origins of these stunning hobbit-esque houses are shrouded in mystery, but a popular theory involves a tale as old as time… tax evasion! As the houses were easily dismantled when the tax-man came around to collect his debts, residents were able to dodge taxes on their property, since said property was simply a mound of rubble.
Home to a multitude of museums, each preserving timeless masterpieces and showcasing the country's rich artistic heritage, Italy is a haven for art enthusiasts.
