Points forts
Petrelë castle is located 15 km south of Tirana. It is famous its history, as it is located next to the Illyrian anciet city of Persqop back to more than 3000 years, and its beautiful views. In ancient times Petrelë was known also in documents as Petralba, which translated from Greek means 'the stone' of 'alba', therefore "The stone of Albanians". One can definitely see why it is called such, since the town and its castle are built on a huge stone on top of a small mountain. Petrelë's Castle is one of the oldest structures in the area.

Itinéraire
The tower in the center was built in the 5th century AD, although most of the remainder is Byzantine dating from between the 11th and 14th centuries. The castle was used mostly to watch for Ottoman troops marching towards inner Albania. In Ottoman times, the castle was the house of Scanderbeg's sister (Mamica Kastrioti). The town and castle were also very dear to Scanderbeg and he used to take time off to come and rest in the area. We visit the castle, than we have lunch in its restaurant inside the castle where you can enjoy the surrounding views.

About Tirana
Tirana, capitale colorée de l'Albanie : bâtiments peints, monuments ottomans et italiens, bunkers de la guerre froide et cafés à chaque coin.
La place Skanderbeg, vaste esplanade ouverte, est le cœur de la ville, flanquée de la mosquée Et'hem Bey aux fresques délicates, de la tour de l'Horloge et du Musée national d'histoire avec son immense mosaïque de l'ère socialiste. Tout près, la Pyramide de Tirana est un frappant vestige de béton des décennies communistes.
Top-ranked sights in Tirana: Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej), Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid), Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut).
