Originally, the conical structure would have been built directly on the ground, but most of the surviving structures are based on perimeter walls. In Alberobello atop a trullo's cone there is normally a pinnacle, that may be one of many designs, chosen for symbolism.

Such symbols may include planetary symbols, the malocchio (evil eye), the cross, a heart, a star and crescent, or quite a few others. The walls are very thick, providing a cool environment in hot weather and insulating against the cold in the winter.
