It has an elliptical shape and a circumference of 804 m, occupies a surface of 2.5 ha of land, and is built on a rocky hill. Archaeological excavations of 1978 prove that the hill has been inhabited since the 3rd century BC while the fortress was built around V-VI century AD. Inside the fortress, we will visit the Skanderbeg & Ethnographic Museum and the Dollma Masjid.
