Berat Albania the town of 1000 windows and the legend behind that
The legend starts like this..
Once upon a time, before Berat, this beautiful town of Albania was built the inhabitants of this place were happy. Until they decided to do something to promote tourism and attract visitors so each could have their own business to profit income. They all gathered together and made a place to build the town of 1000 windows. The plan was each should build 5 windows on their house. They all agreed, but little did they know that Gezim the Vain would do something else. While everyone was building 5 windows, Gezim built 6. Things went awry when the other neighbors learned what he did. They went over to his place and dragged Gezim and tied him with weights and threw him down the Osumi River.
What happened after to Berat Albania?
Gezim was dead, and they threatened everyone to never mention the 1001st window. From then on the word of the town of 1000 windows was spread like wind, everybody wanted to see this miracle. People from all over the country rushed to see the town of 1000 windows. Everybody loved that and Berat was thriving. Until Gezim’s son was of age now, he was mad at everyone for killing his father. He had a plan!
What was the plan of Gezim’s son?
He wrote a letter to everyone in the village and meanwhile sending the letter to the villagers he posted it to other municipalities. The last sentence written in the later was a bomb for the townsfolk. Berat had 1001 windows. The townsfolk went boiling-mad. They rushed to his house to punish him, but he and his family had tied themselves with weights and jumped into the river where his father had died. They had restored Gezim’s honor.
While the village was ragging and thinking things would go down, the unexpected happened. People rushed more than before to Berat Albania to find the house with 6 windows. This attracted more people than before, they wanted to see the town of 1001 windows.
Even nowadays people travel to Berat to find the last window.
