İbriktepe is famous for having been the birthplace of Albanian politician and founder of the Albanian Orthodox Church, Fan Noli.[2][4] At the time of Noli's birth a small Albanian-speaking Orthodox community[6] lived in the town.[5][7][2][3][4] A bust of him was placed in the town in January 2011.[8]
