VOSKOPOJË, ALBANIA 🇦🇱 Exploring 300 Year Old Churches ~ Outside KORÇË

Voskpojë, Albania is a small village in the Albanian countryside about 21 kilometers outside of Korçë. A bit of history: Voskopojë was founded in the early 14th century and was inhabited by Albanians, Aromanians, and Greeks. The small town was famous for having the second printing house in the Ottoman Empire after the first in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). During the city's peak in the 18th century, there were around 24-30 churches in Voskopojë. Today only five of those churches remain intact along with the ruins of several others. In the late 1700s, the city was attacked and destroyed during a succession of invasions, most notably by Ali Pasha's troops. Many of Voskopojë's inhabitants left the city at that time. In this video, we take you through Voskopojë to see some of the churches that remain. We also meet the town's only priest who let us see inside the Church of St. Nicholas where we got to view untouched frescos that are over 300 years old! If you are in Korçë, we recommend taking a day trip to Voskopojë. You can catch a bus from the main bus terminal in Korçë. https://goo.gl/maps/LXqXk1Qk43Lr6VH28 The bus will drop you in the center of Voskopojë near the tourism office. We caught an 11am bus from Korçë, but there may be earlier options. At the time of filming in April 2022, the buses returning from Voskopojë to Korçë were at 1pm and 4pm. The bus price was 150 Lek per person each way.
