Berat

The name Berat means 'White City' in Old Slavonic.

Berat was known as Pulcheriopolis during the early Byzantine Empire.

According to local legend, the Tomorr mountain was originally a giant who fought another giant over a young woman.

Berat's economy in the 18th century was closely connected to craft guilds, with twenty-two guilds by 1750.

The Berat National Ethnographic Museum opened in 1979 and contains a diversity of everyday objects from throughout Berat's history.
