Çorovodë

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 40°30′N, 20°13′E Çorovodë, also written as Çorovoda is the main city of Skrapar, Albania with a population of around 7,000. The city name Çorovoda comes from the Bulgarian: Черна вода (Cherna voda) and means "black water". The Çorovoda river passes through the city and it is also home to a canyon, known as "Pirogosh". Allegedly, two kings, Piro and Goshi, named the cavern.

Osumi river passes through the city too and forms wonderful canyons and caves which are the highest and the longest in Abania. Çorovoda offers many other attractions to everyone who would like to spend some unforgettable holidays. Çorovoda is only 3 hours away from Tirana (the capital).

Some archaeologists believe Çorovoda might be the oldest city in Albania. They have found ruins of some churches and a buried castle in Rovica which might be more ancient than the castle of Berat.
