One of the most beautiful trails recently marked by the Durrës Protected Areas Administration is “The Church Cliff – Cape of Rodon Castle” trail.

This easy and pleasant trail is 1.94 km round trip. It is suitable for all ages.

The trail offers stunning views of the sea, cliffs, and history. It ends at the Castle of the Cape of Rodon, a monument of great cultural and historical value.

The castle continues to attract both local and foreign tourists. It was built in the 15th century. Early records show the castle had a square layout with four towers.

Today, only the central tower remains, standing 10 meters tall, along with a small part of the walls. Due to sea erosion, some walls have sunk beneath the Adriatic Sea.

Visitors can see the outer walls on the right side, ending with a round tower. Near the castle are the ruins of St. Peter’s Church, considered a sacred place by locals.
