History of Gjirokastra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gjirokastra has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The city was first settled by the Illyrians and later became a Roman one. In the Middle Ages, it was under the rule of the Byzantine Empire and later the Ottoman Empire. Today, the city is a symbol of Albanian resistance, as it was the birthplace of the leader of the Communist Party, Enver Hoxha. According to the legend, during the siege of the city by the Turks, Princess Argjiro jumped from the walls of the castle together with her son in order not to fall alive into the hands of the enemy. This is where the name &#8220;Fortress of Argjiro&#8221; came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Things to do in Gjirokastra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visit the Gjirokastra Castle:<\/strong> This medieval fortress is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city and provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Explore the Old Bazaar<\/strong>: This historic marketplace is the heart of Gjirokastra&#8217;s cultural and social life and is a great place to find souvenirs and local handicrafts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Museums<\/strong>.
