Each area is full of culture, history and even a variety of landmarks that you won’t want to miss – like the Trulli huts for example (in Alberobello, as well as a few other areas), or sites like Castel del Monte (in Andria) and Alfonsino Castle (also known as Aragonese Castle, located in Brindisi).

Take in the views of Valle d’Itria
