The Gorica Bridge over the Osum river that spirals through the city of Berat, Albania is a landmark. It is one of the oldest Ottoman bridges in the country. The bridge is wide for cars but currently is only used for pedestrian purposes. It has amazing views of the castle as it is located at the foot of the mountain. No fee is required to walk on the bridge. If in the area, it is worth walking and it takes a few minutes.

🌙 AN AMAZING MUST VISIT SPOT IN BERAT 🌙 Whoever visiting Albania should visit Berat and when planning for a Berat tour, this is a go to place. The view from this Bridge is amazing ❤️🔥 And the history underlying this bridge is interesting as well. When coming from Berat Bus Terminal, take the local bus which costs 40 lek and get down at Mangalem Center.

The Old Bridge can be found at one end of the old town. It is a fairly simply stone bridge paved with cobble stones. There isn't anything near it per say but if you are in Berat, it is a nice place to take a stroll. Beautiful scenes from here at different times of the day. Not well lit at night.

The Bridge of Gorica is a beautiful Ottoman bridge. As it is with many of Albania’s most famous monuments, a legend surrounds this bridge too 😀. The legend involves a young woman being buried alive inside the bridge, in order to ensure that its foundations stand strong forever.😀
