It is one of the largest castles with a long history in its walls, from the pre-Ottoman period, Ottoman occupation, the Italian period, WWI and WWII, and communist times.
The Old Bazaar is particularly beautiful. It is the best place to explore souvenirs containing Albanian symbols and cultural elements, traditional costumes handmade by the local ladies, and traditional food.
