Bularat

Bularat (Albanian definite form: Bularati; Greek: Βουλιαράτες; romanized Vouliarátes) is a village in Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.

[4] Archeological findings (clay objects) discovered in 1979 prove that the village has been continuously inhabited since the 3rd century BC.

[6] Following the capture of the village and its surroundings by Greek forces, a temporary hospital was established to heal wounded soldiers, of whom 60 eventually died however.

It was repaired in 1830 by donations from wealthy Georgios Kouremenos, the name of which was found on an inscription of a slab.

[8] In 1993, Albanian authorities arrested the mayor of the village due to offence caused by waving of Greek flags in the village during annual celebrations commemorating Greece's entry to World War II.
