Description
Berat, also known as the "city of one window over another". Known for its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage, Berat offers you a glimpse into Albania's fascinating past and a sense of hospitality.Since 2008, the 2400-year-old city, the pride of Albanian architecture, a cultural treasure and a symbol of religious coexistence, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is divided into two distinct parts: Kala (the old town) and Mangalem (the new town). Both have the Tomori Mountains as a backdrop, and the Osum River meanders through the valley, creating enchanting views. The white houses from the Ottoman period in the old town centre with their many windows form a unique architectural sight, to which Berat owes its nickname.
