About Vlorë

Vlorë is a port city on a wide bay in south-west Albania, where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea below pine-covered hills.

Vlorë curves around its bay behind a palm-lined promenade and a working harbour. The Muradie Mosque, a sixteenth-century building credited to the architect Sinan, stands near the centre, and the Independence Monument recalls the declaration of independence made here in November 1912. On a hill just above the city, the weathered walls of Kanina Castle look out over the bay and the lowlands behind it.
