Castles in Albania
34 PlacesCastle tourism invites visitors into history, romance, and architectural splendor. Castles, primarily from the medieval era, were originally fortified structures built by nobility or royalty for defense and as symbols of power. Many sit atop strategic sites overlooking villages or countryside, offering commanding views and engaging stories of their past.
Modern-day travelers can explore castles through guided tours, often furnished with period artifacts. Some castles are converted into luxury accommodations, while others host festivals, performances, or historical reenactments that bring the past to life.
