Full description

Gjirokastra was an important 19th century administrative center, populated by landowners who built majestic fortified tower houses. The city has over 500 historic buildings. The peculiarities of the time of life in Albania also left traces in their architecture: protective structures were necessary, because the Albanians occasionally fought against each other; they also rebelled against the High Gate of Istanbul. Today's city of Gjirokastra includes the historic center, the castle (the first nucleus of settlements) and the Ottoman-style neighborhoods - built on ridges, which come from the castle and the valley basin, where there are contemporary buildings and a university complex.
