It has four manmade lakes and two rivers that run through the city. It is a major center for several industries including agriculture, medicines, clothing and precious metals. Albania was once a part of the Ottoman Empire. This is obvious if you see the mosques and tombs that are found all over the city. There are numerous churches that are constructed centuries ago and it is a must place to visit.
