Introducing Durres

Durrës, also called Durrësi, is the second-largest city of Albania and located approximately 38 kilometers in the west of the Albanian capital Tirana. It lies on the Adriatic Sea coast and owns the most important seaport of the country. With almost 3,000 years of history, it’s the most ancient city of Albania. Founded by the Greeks, it later passed to the Romans and has been the setting for numerous fights and conquests in history. Thanks to its long and turbulent history, you can visit very interesting historic landmarks. The most notable one is the amphitheater of the Roman Emperor Hadrian with 15,000 seats. Almost half of the original wall of the city castle still remains and you can go for a walk where Caesar himself once promenaded. The Durrës Archaeological Museum is the biggest museum in the country and of great interest for all history lovers.
