Ottoman Heritage in Albania

Ottoman heritage in Albania shows in its old bazaars, mosques, stone towns and castles, and these articles explain where to see it. Nearly five centuries of Ottoman rule shaped Berat, Gjirokastra, Krujë and Shkodër, from the houses climbing their hillsides to the covered markets and hammams. Our guides walk through castles and old towns, follow Skanderbeg's resistance at Krujë and Lezhë, and cover the same legacy across the border in Prizren. They also point out which tours stop at these places.
