Alberobello
Puglia
Known for its UNESCO-listed trulli, this Puglia town has limited job opportunities and healthcare accessibility.
Summary
Alberobello, a town in the heart of Puglia, is famed for its distinctive trulli—cone-shaped stone dwellings recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. With a population of approximately 10,200, it boasts over 1,500 of these structures, primarily concentrated in the Rione Monti and Aia Piccola districts. Key attractions include the two-storey Sovereign Trullo and the Museo del Territorio, which showcases local history. The town supports a vibrant culture with local festivals celebrating traditional traditions, including culinary highlights like orecchiette and bombette.

While healthcare options exist, they rank lower in accessibility and quality. Additionally, the language barrier can hinder integration into the community, and older homes may require renovations. Accessibility to amenities can be inconvenient due to less robust public transport options.
