My visit at “Ura e Fshajt” - “Ura e Fshajt”
The Holy Bridge is a historical place that I had the chance to visit. The visit left me with a great impression of its history.
Its existence is related to the legend of the woman's sacrifice, and where better than the Rozafat castle, where the bridge is also known as the Rozafa Bridge.
During my visit, the main event was the traditional, spectacular jump at a height of 22 meters, the Dallendyshe dance.
The holy bridge is a scenic spot for visitors.
