Berat, entered on the Unesco World Heritage List, captivates with its unusual buildings. On both sides of the Osum river, white, dark-tiled houses climb the steep slopes of the hills that surround the city. The Mangalem district is filled with picturesque mosques, khanaks, and other structures from the Ottoman era. However, what impressed me the most was the defensive castle built over the centuries, located on top of a steep hill.
