Albanian architecture

Hey there little buddy! Let's learn about Albanian architecture.

Architecture is like building houses or buildings. In Albania, people built their houses and buildings based on their needs and resources.

Long ago, people in Albania built houses out of materials that were easy to find around them like stone, clay, and wood. These houses were called "kulla." They were tall and robust because they had to protect people from invaders.

Later on, as Albania changed, people started building different kind of houses. They used stone and cement to make solid buildings that could withstand earthquakes. Albanian people also valued beauty in their buildings, so you can see many of them decorated with colorful paint and intricate designs.

As a result of these changes, you can find many different styles of Albanian architecture today. Some buildings look like castles, with narrow windows and steep roofs. Others have big gardens and lots of balconies.

Overall, Albanian architecture is unique and diverse, reflecting the different cultures and influences that shaped Albania over the years.
