Berat Castle

Berat Castle is an inhabited hilltop citadel above the old town of Berat, and these articles cover it as part of guides to Berat and central Albania. People still live inside its walls, among Byzantine churches, ruined mosques and the Onufri Museum, with views over the Osum valley. The articles include a portrait of Berat, a budget four-day long weekend in Albania, a guide to the country's most interesting cities and a list of top tourist places. A piece on Albania holidays and a look at life in a rural village add ideas for the rest of the trip.
