Trullo Sovrano
In the modern part of town, the 18th- century Trullo Sovrano is the only two-floor trullo, built by a wealthy priest’s family. It’s a small museum giving something of the atmosphere of trullo life, with sweet, rounded rooms which include a re-created bakery, bedroom and kitchen. The souvenir shop here has a wealth of literature on the town and surrounding area.

Chiesa Sant'Antonio
One last bit of trulli madness is the Chiesa Sant'Antonio a trullo-shaped church at the top of Rione Monti. It was built with donations from American émigrés and is topped by a trullo dome measuring 19.8m.

New Town
After battling the crowds in the trulli zone you may need a break in the relative sanity of the new town. The best time to come is the early evening when everyone is out for the lively passeggiata.
