Full description

Berat is one of the oldest continuously inhabited regions in Albania, with a rich history spanning over 2,400 years. Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance, Berat is renowned as a museum town and is often referred to as "the city of a thousand windows" due to its distinctive architectural style, featuring houses with numerous windows closely stacked together. Visitors can explore the historic Berat Castle, the Onufri Museum, and several notable churches and mosques. The Onufri Museum is dedicated to the renowned 16th-century Albanian painter Onufri, whose beautifully crafted icons are displayed within the museum and in various churches across Albania and Greece. In the city center, guests can visit the Leaden Mosque, the King's Mosque, the Bachelor's Mosque, the Alveti Tekke, and the historic Gorica Bridge, each contributing to Berat's unique cultural and architectural heritage.
