Puglia Italy Travel Articles
Book
your trip to Puglia with our team of Italy travel professionals! Puglia,
the Italian name for this region, is usually referred to as Apulia
in English. This long strip of land comprising the "heel" of
Italy has a unique landscape devoid of mountains and covered by plains
and hills. Farms devoted to vineyards, olive trees and vegetables are
separated by neatly constructed stone walls. The giant olive trees,
several feet in diameter, twisted and towering, are startling. The area
surrounding Alberobello
is dotted with trulli.
These small conical buildings, first built in the 13th century, are
created out of limestone and unique to Puglia. Puglia's sandy beaches
are a big draw to this area; three-quarters of the region borders the
sea. Puglia's strategic location made it a target for conquering and
colonization by Byzantines, Saracens, Greeks, Romans, Normans,
Swabians, Turks and Spaniards, among others.
