Berat, is the ninth largest city by population of the Republic of Albania. The city is the capital of the surrounding Berat County, one of 12 constituent counties of the country. By air, it is 71 kilometres (44 miles) north of Gjirokastër, 70 kilometres (43 miles) west of Korçë, 70 kilometres (43 miles) south of Tirana and 33 kilometres (21 miles) east of Fier.

Geographically, Berat is located in the south of the country surrounded by mountains and hills including Tomorr on the east that was declared a national park. For a total length of 161 kilometres (100 miles) the Osum River runs through the city before it empties into the Seman River within the Myzeqe Plain.

Berat, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, comprise a unique style of architecture with influences from several civilizations that have managed to coexist for centuries throughout the history. Like many cities in Albania, Berat comprises an old fortified city filled with churches and mosques painted with grandiose wealth of visible murals and frescos.

The name of the city in Albanian is Berat or Berati, which is probably derived from the Old Slavonic Бѣлградъ or Bel(i)grad[citation needed] (Белград, meaning white city in the South Slavic languages), under which name it was known in Greek, Bulgarian, Latin and Slavic documents during the High and Late Middle Ages.[citation needed] That name was rendered as Bellegrada (Βελλέγραδα) in Greek.[citation needed] It is believed to have been the site of the ancient city Antipatreia (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιπάτρεια city of Antipater) or Antipatrea in Latin, while during the early Byzantine Empire the name of the town was Pulcheriopolis (Greek: Πουλχεριόπολις, city of Pulcheria). In the Republic of Venice the city was known as Belgrado di Romania (Rumelian Belgrade), while in the Ottoman Empire it was also known as Belgrad-i Arnavud (Albanian Belgrade) to distinguish it from Belgrade.

Berat lies on the right bank of the river Osum, a short distance from the point where it is joined by the Molisht river. The old city centre consists of three parts: Kalaja (on the castle hill), Mangalem (at the foot of the castle hill) and Gorica (on the left bank of the Osum). It has a wealth of beautiful buildings of high architectural and historical interest. The pine forests above the city, on the slopes of the towering Tomorr mountains, provide a backdrop of appropriate grandeur. The Osumi river has cut a 915-metre deep gorge through the limestone rock on the west side of the valley to form a precipitous natural fortress, around which the town was built on several river terraces.

According to an Albanian legend, the Tomorr mountain was originally a giant, who fought with another giant (mountain) called Shpirag over a young woman. They killed each other and the girl drowned in her tears, which then became the Osum river.

Mount Shpirag, named after the second giant, is on the left bank of the gorge, above the district of Gorica. Berat is known to Albanians as the city of One above another Windows (a similar epithet is sometimes applied to Gjirokastra), or The City of Two Thousand Steps. It was proclaimed a 'Museum City' by the dictator Enver Hoxha in June 1961

The earliest recorded inhabitants of the city (6th century BC) were the Illyrian tribe of the Dassaretae or Dexarioi, the northernmost subgroup of the Chaonians, and the region was known as Dessaretis after them.[3][4] Modern Berat occupies the site of Antipatreia (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιπάτρεια), which originally was a settlement of the Dexarioi[5] and later a Macedonian stronghold in southern Illyria.[3][6] The founding date is unknown, although if Cassander is the founder it has been suggested that Antipatreia was founded after he took control of the region around 314 BC.[6] In 200 BC it was captured by the Roman legatus Lucius Apustius, who razed the walls and massacred the male population of the city

The town became part of the unstable frontier of the Byzantine Empire following the fall of the western Roman Empire and, along with much of the rest of the Balkan peninsula, it suffered from repeated invasions by Slavs. During the Roman and early Byzantine period, the city was known as Pulcheriopolis.

마을에는 13세기 무렵 크게 번성했던 오래된 시장이 있다. 당시 물물교환을 하던 곳이 지금은 관광객들을 위한 기념품을 판다. 기념품 중 눈에 많이 띄는 것은 카펫이다. 이곳에서 35년간 카펫을 만들어 팔고 있다는 작은 상점의 아주머니를 만났다. 아주머니는 주로 알바니아의 전통 문양으로 카펫을 만드는데, 하루 8시간씩 일주일을 꼬박 붙어있어야 하나를 완성할 수 있단다. 이 카펫은 우리 돈 15만 원 정도에 팔린다. “이곳 바자르는 약 3백 년 된 곳이며 시내 중심지였습니다. 사회주의 시절에도 이곳을 보호하려고 많은 노력을 해왔으며 현재 관광객들의 많은 사랑을 받고 있습니다. 많은 관광객이 방문하도록 홍보를 부탁드려요.”

The village has the oldest market, which greatly flourished around the 13th century. At the time this was where barter is now selling souvenirs for tourists. It is an eye-catching lots of memorabilia on the carpet. I met a lady in a small shop that sells carpets made here in 35 years. Aunt things will primarily be to create a carpet with traditional patterns of Albania, one must complete the attached full day per week for 8 hours. The carpets are sold in approximately ₩ 150,000 of our money. It was a bazaar where the city center is about 300 years. Socialism had been a lot of time trying to protect this place even much loved by tourists today. Many tourists'm begging you to visit the publicity.

Qilima janë shitur në rreth 150.000 ₩ paratë tona. Ishte një pazari ku qendra e qytetit është rreth 300 vjet.

Butrint (Latin: Buthrōtum; from Ancient Greek: Βουθρωτόν, translit. Bouthrōtón) was an ancient Greek and later Roman city and bishopric in Epirus.[2][3][4] Inhabited since prehistoric times, Buthrotum was a city of the Greek tribe of the Chaonians, later a Roman colony and a bishopric. It entered into decline in Late Antiquity, before being abandoned during the Middle Ages after a major earthquake flooded most of the city. In modern times it is an archeological site in Vlorë County, Albania, some 14 kilometres south of Sarandë and close to the Greek border. It is located on a hill overlooking the Vivari Channel and is part of the Butrint National Park. Today Bouthrotum is a Latin Catholic titular see.

The city is considered as one of the most important archaeological sites in Albania. On the strength of the immense wealth of cultural, historical and natural value with a considerable history, Butrint was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992 and further a National Park in 2000.

It was an amazing trip, and I hope this video captures a bit of the awe and wonder that we felt the whole time.
