Kanina Castle recently welcomed many visitors from Albania and abroad.
They touched the ancient walls that hold centuries of pride, legends, and memories.
The experience stirred their senses and souls.
The castle stands just 3 kilometers from the coastal city of Vlorë.
This close distance makes it a popular cultural and historical destination.
Its construction began in the 4th century BC.
The castle reflects the history of Antiquity and the Middle Ages—Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman.
Each period left its own building techniques.
The castle rises on a hill, 380 meters above sea level.
It covers an area of 3.6 hectares.
The Adriatic Sea lies in front, like a view in the palm of your hand.
The landscape amazes every visitor.
Inside the castle stands a teqe.
It was once a church.
Sulejman Pasha, a great admiral, later turned it into a teqe.
