About Berat:

Berat is a town located in south-central Albania. It has a population of around 45,500 people (2003 est). It is the capital of both the District of Berat and the larger County of Berat. The old town was inscribed on the World Heritage List in July 2008.

Berat is a unique city, occupying a unique place and boasting a long and remarkable history. In this beautiful location, where the waters of the Osum River have carved a nook, Berat perches majestically on the side of the mountain. The beginnings of human civilization here date back at least 2,400 years. The city that has sprung up here, at the confluence of the magnificent mountain and the ever-changing river, has inspired many to write of what they have seen:

“I am Onufri, coming from the multi, shiny city of Berat.”--Onufri, 16th century painter

“Berati is beautiful, to be everlasting beautiful.”--Johann Strauss, composer

“These values, this museum and the city of Berat does not belong just to you but to the whole humankind.” --Perez de Cuellar, Peruvian diplomat
