Çorovodë (Albaniandefinite form: Çorovoda) is a town and a former municipality in Berat County, Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision and the seat of the municipality Skrapar.[1] The population at the 2011 census was 4,051.[2] It was the seat of the former Skrapar District.
The river Osum passes through the city. Upstream it forms canyons and caves.[citation needed] The river provides opportunities for kayaking and other aquatic sport.
The smaller Çorovoda River also flows through the city and mouths into the Osum river. The name of the town derives from the Bulgarian word for "black water". Five km northeast of Çorovodë it formed the Gradec Canyon. In one of its cliffs the presumably biggest cave of Albania named "Pirogosh" is located. Allegedly, two kings, Piro and Goshi, named it. Also of note is the Ottoman-era Kasabashi stone bridge over the Çorovoda river.[citation needed]
During the period of communist rule in Albania, the town was a closed city that had a military airport, as well as other critical war infrastructure.
