Fushëbardhë (also Fushë-Bardhë) is a small village in the south of Albania near Gjirokastër. It is part of the former municipality Cepo. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Gjirokastër.[1] Papa Zhuli a Catholic priest who is credited for the Kanun of Labëria, is from the neighbouring village of Zhulat and also Fushëbardhë.
