The Mangalem and Gorica Quarters are the heart of Berat, Albania’s UNESCO-listed city known as the “City of a Thousand Windows.” Separated by the Osum River and connected by the iconic Gorica Bridge, these two historic neighborhoods reflect the city’s centuries-old tradition of religious harmony and architectural beauty.
Mangalem, once the Muslim quarter, is famous for its white Ottoman houses stacked along the hillside, narrow cobblestone alleys, and historic mosques. Directly across the river, Gorica—the Christian quarter—offers a quieter charm with stone houses, ancient churches, and peaceful streets. Together, they showcase Berat’s unique blend of Islamic and Christian heritage, making them a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Albanian culture.
