Gjirokastra Castle

Perched above the city, Gjirokastra Castle offers unbroken views of Gjirokaster and the Drina Valley. The castle’s origins date back centuries, and its ramparts, tunnels, and abandoned military equipment, including a US Air Force fighter jet, provide a tangible link to its storied past. Visitors can explore the Gjirokastra Museum and the National Museum of Armaments, both housed within the castle grounds. These museums, along with the castle’s historic architecture, make it a compelling destination for those interested in history.
