Gjirokastra is a historic town in southern Albania, celebrated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its remarkably well-preserved Ottoman-era architecture. Famously known as the 'City of Stone', it clings precariously to the steep slopes of the Mali i Gjerë mountain overlooking the Drino Valley. The town stands out for its unique fortressed houses (known as kulle), steep limestone-cobbled streets, and rich multi-layered history.
