Gjirokastra - Citadel - Clock-tower - Ottoman houses. American Spyplane shot down during communist regime. Gjirokastër Castle is a castle in Gjirokastër, Albania (historically known as Argyrokastro, a name then applied also to the castle). The castle dominates the town and overlooks the strategically important route along the river valley. It is open to visitors and contains a military museum featuring captured artillery and memorabilia of the Communist resistance against German occupation, as well as a captured United States Air Force plane to commemorate the Communist regime's struggle against the "imperialist" western powers. The citadel has existed in various forms since before the 12 century. Extensive renovations and a westward addition was added by Ali Pasha of Tepelene after 1812. The government of King Zog expanded the castle prison in 1932. Today it possesses five towers and houses a clock tower, a church, a cistern, the stage of the National Folk Festival, and many other points of interest. The castle's prison was used extensively by Zog's government and housed political prisoners during the Communist regime.

Berat and Gjirokastra are inscribed as rare examples of an architectural character typical of the Ottoman period. Located in central Albania, Berat bears witness to the coexistence of various religious and cultural communities down the centuries. It features a castle, locally known as the Kala, most of which was built in the 13th century, although its origins date back to the 4th century BC. The citadel area numbers many Byzantine churches, mainly from the 13th century, as well as several mosques built under the Ottoman era which began in 1417. Gjirokastra, in the Drinos river valley in southern Albania, features a series of outstanding two-story houses which were developed in the 17th century. The town also retains a bazaar, an 18th-century mosque and two churches of the same period. https://dorpenstedennederland.blogspot.com/ https://fieggentrio.blogspot.com/

The view of Gjirokastra (Gjirokastër) from the Castle. This is a beautifully preserved medieval city in Southern Albania. It is a World Heritage site and with good reason: the old town (both on the slopes of the castle hill and Gorica on the other side of the river) is an almost intact Ottoman town. The houses were built of stone and they even have stone roofs. Gjirokastra látképe a várból.
