Berat
Discover Berat: Exploring Albania's Timeless Gem
Historic Core: The Berat Castle
Berat, fondly known as the "City of a Thousand Windows," is undeniably one of Albania's most cherished destinations. Nestled in central Albania, this UNESCO World Heritage site brims with a rich tapestry of history, culture, and stunning architecture. At the heart of Berat lies the Berat Castle, a fortress that offers a journey through time. The castle, perched on a hilltop, boasts panoramic views of the city and the Osum River. Within its walls, visitors can wander through ancient Byzantine churches and Ottoman mosques, each echoing tales of centuries past. The castle's labyrinthine paths weave among well-preserved stone houses, bringing a medieval ambiance to life.
Lower Town: Mangalem and Gorica Neighborhoods
Descending from the castle, the Mangalem and Gorica neighborhoods on either side of the Osum River are must-visits. Mangalem, historically an Islamic quarter, showcases a striking blend of Ottoman architecture with its whitewashed stone houses cascading down the hillside. Across the river, Gorica presents a more Christian heritage with equally enchanting stonework and narrow cobbled streets. These areas are best experienced on foot
