Résumé (en anglais)

The Historic Centre of Berat is located in the Osum river valley in Central Albania. The site has evidence of early occupation from the Neolithic period. A permanent fortified settlement developed here from the 4th century BC. The town then underwent continuous development embodying the Illyrian, Roman, Byzantine, Bulgarian, European medieval, Ottoman and Albanian cultures. It bears witness to the coexistence of various religious and cultural communities down the centuries. The vernacular housing dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, representing an innovative and open version of the Balkan housing typology, adjusted to the needs of artisans and merchants. The wall paintings of the medieval churches of Berat have won great renown, especially for the 16th century painting school established by Onufri.
