We shall set forth and make our way to Central South Albania, to the City of Many Windows, Berat. Since 2008, it has been inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list, and continues to be a significant city even today, boasting a remarkable history of over two millennia. Despite the passage of time, life has remained persistent here, and the Castle or “Kalaja” is the oldest district of the city. Predominantly inhabited by the Christian Orthodox population, this part of the city features a remarkable assemblage of churches, some of which date as far back as the 14th century.

The majestic Citadel of Berat, commonly referred to as Berat Castle and its castle quarter, soars grandly above the town of Berat, Albania. Its majestic walls date back to the 13th century and are surrounded by a multitude of Byzantine churches as well as Ottoman mosques.

Before departing Berat, enjoy a short walk through Mangalem Quarter, the city’s most iconic historic neighborhood. Wander along its narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional Ottoman houses, famous for their “thousand windows,” and admire the unique architecture set beneath Berat Castle. This brief visit offers a final glimpse into Berat’s UNESCO-listed heritage and authentic local atmosphere before we continue our journey back to Tirana.
