Korçë, Cultural center in southeastern Albania
The city extends across a plateau at 850 meters elevation, bordered by the Morava Mountains and contains numerous Ottoman period buildings.
In 1887, Korçë marked a turning point in Albanian education by opening the first school that taught exclusively in the Albanian language.
The National Museum of Medieval Art holds 7,000 Orthodox Christian artifacts, including religious icons and manuscripts from different centuries.
The Old Bazaar functions as the main commercial district, with multiple restaurants serving regional dishes and traditional Albanian products.
The winter temperatures and mountain location make Korçë the primary location for skiing activities in Albania at the Bigell resort.
