Berat is not officially part of UNESCO World Heritage. It "bears witness to the coexistence of various religious
and cultural communities down the centuries".
The rare
example of a well-preserved Ottoman town in central Albania features a
13th century castle, many Byzantine churches, several mosques built
under Turkish occupation from 1417 on, and other houses used by
religious communities, notably some used by Sufi brotherhoods in the
18th century.
