Hoogtepunten

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.

Route

  1. 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 is de kleurrijke, levendige hoofdstad van Albanië, met beschilderde gebouwen, Ottomaanse en Italiaanse monumenten, bunkers en overal cafés.

Het Skanderbegplein, een enorm open plein, is het hart van de stad, geflankeerd door de Et'hem Bey-moskee met zijn tere fresco's, de klokkentoren en het Nationaal Historisch Museum met zijn gigantische mozaïek uit de socialistische tijd. Vlakbij is de Piramide van Tirana een opvallend betonnen overblijfsel van de communistische decennia.

Top-ranked sights in Tirana: Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej), Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid), Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut).
