1. Berat Castle looms above the city, filled with more than 2400 years of history, a museum, churches, mosques houses shops ect. The castle is built on a rocky hill on the left bank of the river Osum and is accessible only from the south. The center of the castle quarter is rich with many Byzantine churches; most of them unique for the wall paintings, icons and the values they hold.

4. In Mangalemi, below the castle, you can see the famous view of the facades of the houses, with windows that seem to stand above each other. In general, a traditional house has two floors, where the second is prominent and has many cambered windows and wood carvings. With its houses built along the steep hill, the view of Mangalemi is the reason that another name for Berat is the City of the Floating Windows. Across the Osum River lies the Gorica neighborhood, whose houses face those of Mangalemi. The arched bridge of Gorica, built in 1780, is a beautiful architectural monument constructed to link Gorica with Mangalemi.

About Tirana

Tirana, colorata capitale dell'Albania: edifici dipinti, monumenti ottomani e italiani, bunker della Guerra Fredda e caffè a ogni angolo.

Piazza Skanderbeg, una vasta piazza aperta, è il cuore della città, affiancata dalla moschea Et'hem Bey con i suoi delicati affreschi, dalla torre dell'Orologio e dal Museo Storico Nazionale con il suo gigantesco mosaico dell'era socialista. Nelle vicinanze, la Piramide di Tirana è un impressionante relitto di cemento dei decenni comunisti.

Top-ranked sights in Tirana: Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej), Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid), Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut).
