Still among "trulli"

 

Just a few words, once again, about South Italy's dry stone huts, which I already mentioned on 11 August. 

                                         

As it is known, the walls of these buildings are painted white. That colour would help to reflect, rather than absorb, the sunrays, hence moderating the temperature inside the dry stone structure.

In addition, the small spaces between the stones of these dry stone constructions' conical rooftops maintain a natural coolness during the summer months as well as they preserve the heat during the winter.

Those examples of dry stone construction were made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from surroundings fields.

Some of these traditional architectural structures are still actively used as guesthouses, shops and groceries, etc.

The "trullo" in the above picture hosts a restaurant where I had a delicious typical dinner. 100 Metri Cubi, that its name.  

If you were to go South Italy, you could visit that hidden gem. It is worth it.
