Castle of Gjon Boçari

The stone fortress features two large defensive towers at its northern and eastern corners, with walls measuring 1.25 meters wide and 5.5 meters high.

The Boçari family, a prominent Albanian clan, constructed this fortification during the 16th century and expanded it throughout the 17th century period.

The architectural elements of the castle, including arrowslits and strategic positioning, demonstrate the military engineering capabilities of Albanian builders in medieval times.

The castle stands at 111 meters above sea level, with Marmiroi Church located 4.8 kilometers away and the city of Berat at 57.9 kilometers distance.

The rectangular structure maintains its original defensive walls surrounding a central courtyard, providing evidence of medieval military architectural techniques in Albania.
