Alborbello, small town in southern Italy is famous for its unique trullo buildings.

The walls of a trullo can be up to 2m thick with the space between the inner and outer walls filled ensuring that the interior is cool during the hot summers and warm in winter.

There are many myths surrounding the reason for the cone shaped roofs on "trulli". One of them is that it was a form of property tax evasion.

Since there is no mortar, by pulling on a rope the owner could pull the building down when the tax collector was imminent and reassemble it once he had left!
