We suggest visiting Petrela Castle, which is located on a rocky hill 15 km southeast of Tirana. Since ancient times, this castle has controlled important economic and military routes across the country such as the Egnatia road which runs from Durrës to Tirana to Elbasan. You can reach the castle by taking the bus from the southeast terminal and in twenty minutes, you’ll reach “Mamica Square” in the center of Petrela. A restaurant located within Petrela Castle offers a great place to have lunch and admire the fantastic view before walking from the castle to the ancient settlement of Persqopi. There exists the highest fortification preserved throughout Albanian territory and a Monumental Tomb belonging to the 3-4th Century BC.
