Today, Prime Minister Edi Rama shared new photos of Rozafa Castle, located above the Buna River in Shkodër. The site is now illuminated at night and well maintained. As a result, it attracts visitors throughout the year.

Rozafa Castle, also known as the Castle of Shkodër, is one of the most important fortifications in Albania. It serves as the main tourist attraction in the city of Shkodër. The castle stands on a rocky hill west of the city, surrounded by three rivers: the Buna, the Drin, and the Kir.

The defensive walls cover an area of approximately 9 hectares. Inside the walls, three courtyards are separated by gates. The third courtyard, which is the smallest, is located at the highest point of the hill. Its outer walls feature rectangular projections instead of traditional towers. In contrast, the outer defensive wall includes a higher concentration of towers.

The castle also contains several interior structures. These include a circular tower, a storage facility, and a three-story building from the Venetian period. The second courtyard, which is the largest, occupies the central part of the fortress and is divided from the first courtyard by a transverse wall without towers.

Furthermore, Rozafa Castle holds great value as a cultural and tourist destination. Historians and travelers alike have recognized its historical significance. In addition to its past, it stands as a monument that promotes the cultural identity and heritage of the Albanian people.
