[:ja]ルカ・パルミタノ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した、イタリア半島のかかとに当たるプーリア州です。
プーリア（プッリャ）州は、南東にサレント半島が突き出し、東はアドリア海を隔ててギリシャ・バルカン半島と向き合い、南はターラント湾に面しています。肥沃な平原が広がる地形で、古くから穀倉地帯として知られてきました。バーリ県中部のアルベロベッロには、「トゥルッリ」と呼ばれる伝統的な家屋が約1500軒あることで知られています。白壁に円錐形の石積み屋根を載せたこの家屋は、16世紀から17世紀にかけて開拓のために集められた農民によって造られたもので、1996年に世界遺産として登録されています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1099: Apulia, Italy🇮🇹
Astronaut Luca Parmitano captured from ISS Apulia, Italy.
Apulia is a region of Italy, located in the southern peninsular section of the country. Apulia’s Gargano promontory in the north extends out into the Adriatic like a ‘sperone’ (“spur”), while in the south, the Salento peninsula forms the ‘tacco’ (“heel”) of Italy’s boot. Apulia has Alberobello, a small inland town and comune which has over 10,000 inhabitants and is famous for its unique trullo buildings. Having to use only stones, the peasants found in the round form with self-supporting domed roof the simplest configuration. The roofs were embellished with decorative pinnacles representing the signature of the architect (master trullaro). The trulli of Alberobello have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
