THE CITY OF A THOUSAND WINDOWS;
Berat, Albania
The ancient UNESCO World Heritage city of Berat, located 98km South of Tirana, the capital of Albania, is surrounded by mountain ranges and sits in a valley on both sides of the River Osum. The striking Ottoman architecture that makes up the Old Town stacks upwards towards the hilltop 4th century B.C. castle and gives Berat its moniker of “The town of a thousand windows”.
