Destaques

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.

Itinerário

  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, a colorida e animada capital da Albânia, tem edifícios pintados, marcos otomanos e italianos, bunkers da Guerra Fria e cafés a cada esquina.

A Praça Skanderbeg, uma vasta praça aberta, é o coração da cidade, ladeada pela mesquita de Et'hem Bey com os seus delicados frescos, pela torre do Relógio e pelo Museu Histórico Nacional com o seu gigantesco mosaico da era socialista. Perto, a Pirâmide de Tirana é uma impressionante relíquia de betão das décadas comunistas.

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