footbridge, bridge
Below the Castle is a pedestrian bridge across the Vjosë River, which rests on a number of very old stone piers. The bridge is part of the Byron Trail. The original bridge was built by Ali Pasha as a gift to his town. You may cross the bridge and take the path up to the village of Beçisht, the birth place of Ali Pasha. The remains of his house are still visible and any local inhabitant will be able to give you directions.
