What is the history of these homes, and where is it. Thanks

I have not seen anything like these before! Very interesting!

Interesting and stunning shot. wish I could understand the message on those symbols. a popular place, I believe.

These houses are called Trulli and are made of limestone in Puglia, Italy. Their drywall construction without mortar was imposed on new settlers so that they could dismantle their shelters in a hurry: an efficient means to evade taxes on new settlements under the Kingdom of Naples, and a good way to deter unruly Lords.

The whitewashed symbols are Christian...

Fantastic!

Great shot!

Very interesting subject matter... I also see a second photo here....A capture of the feet of people walking the street with their elongated shadows could also be an intriguing shot. Very nice work all around...
