Gjirokastër UNESCO site

Gjirokastër is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Albania, listed for its well-preserved Ottoman town, and these articles cover it in travel guides. The listing recognises the old quarter of fortified stone houses below the castle, a rare example of a town of this type. Our posts include an overview of the best places to visit in Albania, a guide to holiday destinations combining beaches and culture, and a piece on Albania holidays. A journey through Albania's stone architecture looks closely at the houses themselves.
