The Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage Shkodër published April’s visitor statistics for the Shkodër Archaeological Park.

The numbers show a 36% increase in visitors compared to April last year. This means a 39% rise in revenue compared to April 2024.

“The number of visitors to the Shkodër Archaeological Park keeps growing. This confirms that the Castle of Shkodër remains one of the most visited sites in Albania,” wrote DRTK Shkodër on its website. It renewed the invitation to visit Rozafa, where history and nature blend in perfect harmony.

Rozafa Castle stands on a rocky hill, 130 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by the Buna and Drin rivers and covers nearly 9 hectares.

The castle is a symbol of Shkodër. It appears in paintings, carvings, and writings. The first record of the name Rozafa dates to 1215. Barleti mentioned it as “Rozapha” around 1480.
