Ceramic finds from the 7th century BCE attest to a settlement of the rocky hill of Berat by the Illyrians. Berat has been identified with the ancient Antipatrea.

Go to the castle, but not on foot because it is very steep

4.00Of course, if you take a trip to Albania, you can not miss Berat. And I must say it was exciting to see how people try to preserve and present the remains here. You have to consider that it is a developing country after a long dictatorship and that the money is not very much. They do a lot with little. We ate at the castle and had fun
