The city is popularly nicknamed the "city of a thousand windows", because all the houses of the old city are located on the slopes of Mount Tomor and "look" towards the new city. One of the largest fortresses in Albania stands on the hill – Kale, which represents a kind of stone archive of different historical eras and is related to Bulgarian history. The legend of the fortress tells about the two giant brothers Tomor and Spirag, who fell in love with the same girl. In an effort to win her heart, they started arguing, and the gods became angry and turned them into stones. The girl was upset and started to cry, and from her tears flowed the river Osam, which divides the city between the two mountains. In the atmosphere of old Berat reigns a special comfort of a bygone era, in which life flowed slowly like cobblestones, and walking through these streets is like traveling through time. The houses are beautiful, ancient, even the new houses, which are built must have the typical style of the city. The hand knits and embroideries are distracting, hung on the blowers for sale. Walking on the outside of the fortress walls you will find an incredible panorama of the new Berat, which you can support with a drink in the authentic cafes. For art and history lovers, the old town offers beautifully preserved wall paintings from the 14th-16th centuries in the churches of "St. Constantine and Elena", "St. The Virgin of Blacherna" and "St. Nikola".
