Trullo

…The walls are made of thick stone, and arches are often used in the openings.

These regions have long had circular or oval-shaped dwellings, and this tradition is continued in the stone-walled houses of southern Italy with their conical stone roofs (trullos), and in the houses of Sardinia.
