The Old Village of Libohova represents the historical and urban core of the city, where traditional stone houses, cobblestone alleys and historical monuments testify to a rich history. The area is not just an ordinary village, but a town with deep roots, where elements of different historical and cultural periods are found.
According to archaeological findings and historical studies, Libohova has been inhabited since antiquity and is associated with the Illyrian people and the ancient cities of Epirus. As an urban center, it has been known since ancient centuries, but its historical flourishing peaked later, especially in the 18th century, when the Libohova Castle was built, which gave the city a fortified character and strategic value.
In the historic area of Libohova, you can see traditional houses with flat roofs, historical and cultural objects such as castles, palaces, mosques, churches and Bektashi tekkes. The cobblestone streets, sloping terrain and natural surroundings merge with the historical structure, preserving the characteristic atmosphere of the old town. In the center of the city there is also a perennial plane tree, an old natural monument, part of the heritage of Libohova.
The Old Village of Libohova is of particular importance as it represents one of the most prominent fusions between history, nature and culture in southern Albania. The concentration of historical monuments and buildings gives Libohova a unique identity, which sets it apart from ordinary villages, making it an ideal destination for visitors seeking nature, history, tradition and the spirit of the city.
