Fortress of Berat

Berat, Berati, Berat, Berat fortress, Berat castle
Albania, Berat
Berat is a museum city. It is located 122 km southeast of Tirana. The main attraction of the city is a fortress-castle, built along a mountain range, above the Osim River.
The fortress is a favorite place for newlyweds. Here you can observe the colorful wedding ceremonies of the Albanians. Inside the fortress there is a mosque, 20 churches, a garrison and even residential buildings. 24 towers have been preserved near the walls of the fortress. All of them differ in architecture and were built in different eras.
In 2008 Berat Fortress was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The fortress is located on a hill. It offers spectacular views of the city, river and mountains. This was not the first fortress we visited in Albania, but we liked it here the most. It is very strange, but people still live in the 500-year-old castle. The only downside is the road. To the fortress you need to climb along a winding rocky road. Recomend for everybody.
