A photo diary of Gjirokaster, the stone treasure of the Balkans

Gjirokaster in southern Albania is a majestic Ottoman-era city carved from stone. It stretches upwards on sloping cobblestoned streets with unique stone houses, which kind of look like small fortresses. For that reason, the town is known as “The City of Stone”. We are pretty sure that this photo diary will wake you up the desire to visit this magic town. So if you come to Albania, you should definitely visit this UNESCO site.
