Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church

Located in the Kalaja district of Berat, this is a medieval Byzantine-style Albanian Orthodox church. Visitors go here to see the traditional religious architecture and to view the city from its elevated position on the hill.

Getting There

The church is situated within the Berat Castle (Kalaja) fortress. From the city centre, visitors must walk uphill through the historic citadel area. The walk typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the pace and starting point.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to explore the church and the immediate surrounding area.

When to Visit

Visiting during the morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat, as the climb to the church is exposed. The site can become crowded during the peak summer tourist season.

Nearby Attractions

Because the church is located within the castle complex, it can be combined with several other sites within short walking distances:

  • White Mosque (0.1km)
  • Red Mosque (0.1km)
  • Onufri Iconographic Museum (0.1km)
  • St. Mary of Blachernae Church (0.2km)
