The Castle of Berat, perched on a 187-meter-high hill overlooking the Osum River, is one of the oldest inhabited castles in the world. This remarkable fortress, with walls extending up to 1,400 meters and an area of 10 hectares, showcases the evolution of various historical periods, from its origins as a proto-urban settlement in the 7th-5th century BC to its significant transformations through Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras until the reign of Ali Pasha Tepelena. Berat has played a pivotal role in shaping the direction of Western European history, with battles fought here influencing the course of events across Europe. Within its ancient walls, you'll find churches, mosques, Turkish palaces, and residential houses, forming a living neighborhood that reflects the rich tapestry of Berat's enduring legacy.
