The Old Bazaar of Korçë is a beautifully restored 19th-century market area that once served as a major trading hub. Today, its cobblestone lanes are lined with artisan workshops, souvenir shops, and traditional restaurants serving local specialties like lakror (savory pie) and qifqi (rice balls). The bazaar is also home to the iconic Clock Tower and the Mirah Mosque, reflecting the city's multicultural heritage.
