Rrapi i Bezistanit, Protected natural area in Elbasan, Albania.
The Rrapi i Bezistanit features a centuries-old sycamore tree standing at the center of Elbasan, marking a historical intersection of trade routes.
The protected area received its name from the Bezistan covered market, constructed in the 17th century with numerous merchant shops surrounding the tree.
This natural monument serves as a traditional meeting point for local residents and represents a symbol of continuity in Albanian heritage.
Located near the Castle Gate, visitors can combine their exploration with other nearby attractions including the Miraka Tunnel and Labinot Spring.
The sycamore tree, estimated to be over 500 years old, stands as a living witness to centuries of social transformations in Elbasan.
