Sultan's Mosque Mangalem | Enchanted Wanderings

An picturesque wide shot captures the historic city of Berat in Albania, often called the "City of a Thousand Windows," with its distinctive Ottoman-era houses terraced up a steep hillside. The houses feature white facades, numerous dark-framed windows, and red-tiled roofs, creating a dense, harmonious cluster. In the foreground, a calm river flows, with a pebbled bank on the near side. Lush green vegetation covers the upper parts of the hill behind the houses, and the sky above is clear blue. A purple and white banner diagonally crosses the top left corner of the image, with text that reads "Top UNESCO Site Of Central Europe" and "Albania."
