Explore Berat and its main attractions. Berat Castle is one of the biggest fortifications in Albania. Behind its walls, you’ll find a vast citadel complex of stone streets, houses, and Byzantine churches mixed in with ruin from various epochs. Key points of interest within Berat Castle include the 13th-century St.Mary of Blachernae Church, the Onufri National Iconographic Museum, the ruins of the Red Mosque, the 14th-century Holy Trinity Church, and the remnants of an old acropolis, including a subterranean water cistern.  In the old city center, visit Mangalemi and Gorica neighborhoods, the Medieval Center, which in the present day consists of the King Mosque, the Halveti Tekke, and several monumental tombs.
