Gorica Bridge
Ura e Goricës
A seven-arched stone bridge linking Mangalem and Gorica, begun in the 18th century. One of Berat's most photographed landmarks.
Gorica Bridge spans the Osum River. A wooden bridge first stood here in 1780, and in the 1920s it was rebuilt as a stone arch bridge, now open only to pedestrians. From the bridge you can see the white house clusters on both banks and the hilltop castle together, a classic viewpoint for photographing Berat. The scene is equally lovely when the lights come on in the evening. Crossing the bridge takes you into the Gorica district, where you can stroll at leisure. Admission is free.
