Sheper (definite form: Sheperi) is a community in the Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.[1] Sheperi is the largest village of the former Zagori municipality. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Libohovë.[2] It is mountainous village located 30 km from the city of Gjirokastër, about 800 meters above sea level. Due to heavy migration, its current population is about 100 inhabitants.[citation needed] Sheper is inhabited by an Orthodox Albanian population.[3]
Demographics
Sheper is inhabited by an Orthodox Albanian population and some Aromanian families.[3][4] The Aromanian presence in Sheper dates to the 20th century when during the communist era in Albania they settled in the area.[4]
