Castle
Berat Castle, also known as the Citadel of Berat, is a fortress overlooking the town of Berat, Albania. It dates back to the 4th century BC and is one of the oldest and most enchanting structures in the region. The castle is perched on a rocky hill on the left bank of the river Osum and is accessible via a steep path. It offers a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding countryside that is truly breathtaking.
Inside the castle complex, visitors can explore the many Byzantine churches, with their beautiful frescoes and icons. One of the main attractions is the 13th-century Church of the Holy Trinity, which is known for its stunning frescoes. Another must-see is the Onufri Museum, named after the famous 16th-century icon painter. The museum houses a collection of his works and other religious artifacts.
