You arrive in Alberobello in the evening . The town is in Puglia , in the south of Italy . White houses stand in rows on the hill . Every house has a grey stone roof in the shape of a cone . Your key opens one of them . It is a stone house with a cone roof , a trullo . Inside , the white walls are thick and round . The air is cool , like a cave . The builders used no mortar . People tell an old story . In the 17th century , the count wanted no royal tax on a new town . So the people made houses that came apart fast . When the inspectors came , they saw no new town . In the morning , walk in Rione Monti . This old district has about 1,000 stone houses . Many houses are shops and little hotels now . Many roofs have a white symbol : a cross , a heart , a star . A small stone ball sits on each cone . In 1996 , UNESCO added these houses to its World Heritage list . Drink your morning coffee in the sun . Hundreds of grey cones shine on the hill . The dry stone was cool all night , under your own trullo roof .
