About Gjirokaster

High quality hoto of Gjirokaster - Albania

The little town of Gjirokaster began as a 4th century castle and then spread downhill and the first neighborhoods were those of Bazaar and Hazmurate. The town was conquered by the Ottoman army which left their trace so today visitors can marvel the well-maintained stone Ottoman houses with attractive niches and balconies. The most notable of those houses is the magnificent 19th century home of the Zekati family. Above the town is the most important structure – the castle with the museum of weapons. This is the biggest castle in Albania and it can be reached from the Old Town. While in town, don’t miss the regional specialties like pasha qofte, shapkat, or oshaf with dried figs.
