• Durres Amphitheatre - Considered one of the most remarkable examples of ancient architecture in Albania, and possibly the Balkans, the Durres Amphitheatre was constructed in 100 AD by Hadrian and was only unearthed in the 1960s.

• Durres Castle - Once considered one of the most formidable defense structures along the Adriatic Sea’s western coast, the current fortress has its origins in the initial construction by Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I (491–518), a native of Durrës (ancient Dyrrhachium). Built atop the remnants of the Byzantine tower around the 15th century, the Venetian Tower was fortified with cannons to defend the city from the sea. Specifically designed for artillery, it served as a vital observation point for monitoring the surrounding area. In 2022-2023, the Venetian Tower was renovated and transformed into Albania’s first Heritage Interpretation Center, offering visitors the opportunity to explore historical events and locations through advanced digital and multimedia tools. These include VR headsets, audio guides, dome multimedia projections, and other activities, blending entertainment with a deeper understanding of the city’s ancient history.

The ancient city of Durrës is at once a relaxed beach town and a historical center, home to the largest amphitheater in the Balkan Peninsula! Fittingly, the city of Durrës also houses the country’s largest Archaeological Museum which is still under reconstruction, after the earthquake of 2019. It shows traces of the ancient cultures that have passed through Albania, mainly Greek and Roman. Alongside its history, Durrës also provides loads of lighthearted fun. Located on the Adriatic coast and only a 30-minute drive away from the capital of Tirana, the beach of Durrës is the longest and most populated one in Albania. Modern architectural structures, like the Sphinx, the vibrant promenade and delicious seafood restaurants are a serious part of this city’s charm.
