Moscopole, Mountain village in Korçë District, Albania
Located at 1,160 meters in southeastern Albania, Moscopole extends across mountain slopes with narrow streets connecting traditional stone buildings and churches.
During the 18th century, Moscopole reached its peak with 30,000 inhabitants and established the second printing press in the Ottoman Empire after Constantinople.
Five Orthodox churches remain in the village, containing a total of 43,000 square feet of religious frescoes displaying Balkan ecclesiastical art.
The village sits 21 kilometers from Korçë city, requiring a vehicle to access due to its remote mountain location and limited public transportation.
The former printing house produced twenty documented religious and educational books, making it a major center of Greek literature in the Ottoman Balkans.
