Berat Castle (Kalaja e Beratit) crowns a rocky hill above the Osum. Its walls, about 1,400 m long with 24 towers, date mainly from the 13th century, yet the Kala quarter inside is still lived in, among Byzantine churches and the Onufri Museum. UNESCO-listed since 2008, as an extension of Gjirokastër’s 2005 site.
Mangalem Quarter climbs in terraces from the Osum to the castle hill and was home to Berat’s Muslim community; since 2008 it has been part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its 18th–19th-century houses, stone below and timber above, stack up so many windows that Berat is called the “city of a thousand windows”.
Gorica Quarter faces the castle from the left bank of the Osum and is reached from the centre over Gorica Bridge. Long the home of Berat’s Orthodox community, it has small stone houses high on the slope and larger merchants’ homes with ornate verandas lower down, many rebuilt after the 1851 earthquake.
