3. Argjiro Castle remains more than a symbol for the southern city, which has given so much to the culture and history of Albania. This has without a doubt been the fault of many rulers, who have dreamed of having it as part of their glory. If you contemplate Gjirokastra, you will definitely consider the Castle. Kadare is often referred to. Not only him, in fact all the people of Gjirokastra often refer to the castle. Every imagination of them is definitely related to the Castle. She is the mother of all, who protected them from evil, who gave them freedom. The images that Kadare brings us, through the words of his work, will remain endless. And, really, the walls, the gallery, the clock tower inside it are the very pulse of Gjirokastra. That's why many of the residents tell its legendary story as a true story. Meanwhile, popular artists immortalize it with their sounds, dances and all their folklore. Or more painfully, every lost stone of the Castle is an outgrowth of the old city itself

About Gjirokastër

Gjirokastër is a stone town of Ottoman tower houses climbing a steep hillside beneath a fortress, in the Drino valley of southern Albania.

Grey stone houses with heavy stone-slab roofs climb the slope below Gjirokastër's hilltop castle, which holds a museum of weapons and looks out over the Drino valley. The old town, listed by UNESCO together with Berat, grew up in Ottoman times around a bazaar. Tall fortified family homes such as the Zekate House, built in the early nineteenth century, show how well-off households once lived.
