Why Visit Berat Castle?

It’s still inhabited – yes, locals actually live within the ancient castle walls!

Explore Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and iconic white-washed houses in one place.

Enjoy panoramic views of the Osum River and the “City of a Thousand Windows.”

Feel the unique blend of Christian and Islamic culture that shaped Albania’s history.

It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and for good reason!

Fun Facts:

Berat Castle dates back to the 4th century BC, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited castles in the world.

The name “Berat” comes from the old Slavic "Beligrad", meaning “White City.”

The castle once housed 20 churches and 2 mosques inside its walls!
