Gorica Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Gorica bridge, one of the oldest and most famous Ottoman bridges in Albania, is a landmark in the city of Berat. It connects two parts of the city, Gorica and Mangalemi, and was originally built of wood in 1780. Rebuilt of stone in the 1920s, the seven-arch bridge is 129 meters long and 5.3 meters wide. The bridge rises about 10 meters above the mean water level of the Osum River. In 2015, the Municipality of Berat renovated the bridge to preserve its beauty and history.

The Gorica Bridge is one of Berat's most notable landmarks due to its unique architecture. What makes the bridge so significant is its symbolic role as a bridge of peace and connection amidst historical conflicts between different religious groups.

In Berat the neighborhood north of the river is called Mangalem and is traditionally considered the Muslim area. Here, the picturesque cluster of low white houses, leaning against each other and characterized by large windows, gives it the evocative nickname of the City of a thousand windows!

Berat

Highlight • Settlement

Berat, a thousand-year-old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site also called "the city of 1,000 windows", is the pride of Albanian architecture and is located 120 kilometers from Tirana.

The city forms a wonderful combination of Eastern and Western cultures, customs, traditions and outlooks. Berat is a treasure trove of Albanian history and culture and a testament to the country's tradition of religious harmony.

The life of the city began in the 6th-5th century BC. as an Illyrian settlement. Later, in the 3rd century BC, it was transformed into a castle-town known as Antipatrea. The castle expanded later, especially during the feudal rule of the Muzakaj family.
