Did you know? Berat

Berat is home to over 200 white stone houses stacked vertically on a hillside, earning it the nickname 'City of a Thousand Windows' for the dense cluster of small window openings visible from across the valley.

The city is one of Albania's oldest settlements, with continuous habitation since ancient Illyrian times, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.

Berat's Gorica district on the west bank of the Osum River is predominantly Muslim, while the Mangalem district on the east is traditionally Christian Orthodox, reflecting centuries of Ottoman influence.

The iconic Berat Castle overlooks the old town and contains a functioning Orthodox church, the Dormition of St. Mary, still used for services inside the fortress walls.

Traditional Berati cuisine features byrek (savory pastries), fërgesë (baked cheese and vegetable dish), and local trout from the Osum River.
