The church of Labova of the Cross is a historical and cultural monument, and it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It represents a rich history and tradition of a region that has been influenced by the Byzantine, Ottoman, and the Orthodox Church. It is a must-visit place in Albania, especially for those who are interested in history, culture, and architecture.

Gjirokastra is known as "the stone city," a place where time has stood still, and history lives on through the ancient, weathered stones. As you walk along the cobbled streets, the houses made of grey stone seem to form a protective embrace around you, holding you in an intimate and timeless moment. It's a place where the heart of the past meets the present, where you can feel the pulse of the city's rich cultural heritage in every stone that surrounds you.

Mali i gjerë - The name "Mali i Gjerë" means "broad mountain" in Albanian, and it accurately describes the shape and size of the range.

The Flamuri i Kulturës (The Flag of Culture) is an 1in4 years folkloric festival in Gjirokastra that takes place in July. The festival features live performances of traditional music, dance, and food from the Gjirokastra region and other parts of Albania, as well as exhibitions showcasing local crafts and art shows featuring the work of local artists. Folklore groups from other Balkan countries also come to participate in the festival, making it a vibrant experience that celebrates the cultural heritage

The clock tower was built by Ali Pasha, a controversial Ottoman ruler who controlled much of southern Albania in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Ali Pasha was known for his extravagance and lavish lifestyle, and he commissioned many grand projects, including the construction of this clock tower.

Gjirokastra is called "the stone city" because of its unique architecture and urban layout. The city's old houses, many of which date back to the Ottoman era, are made of grey stone and have a distinct character. The rooftops are often made of an overlapping style of flat slates, giving the city a uniform appearance. The cobbled streets and stone walls are also characteristic features of the city, adding to its overall charm.
