Kalaja E Elbasanit

Reviewed By helloween2016 - Tirana, Albania

The castle was initially built by the Illyrians more than 2 thousand years ago. Then it was occupied and rebuilt by the Romans as it was an important stop in Via Egnatia connecting Durres with Constantinopol. Was destroyed by an earthquake then to be rebuilt again by the ottomans in the 15th century. It was also surrounded by a canal of water at that time for protection. The castle is in need of renovation though and more excavation is needed also in the eastern and western walls to make them acsesible. Inside the castle walls is full of house and there are and old mosque and an old church both worth visiting. Recently there was another castle discovered in Elbasan not far from this one with the same planimetry but smaller which is thought to be built during 17th century

King Mosque

Reviewed By jusuf a - Gaziantep Province, Turkey

This mosque was built by Sultan Bayazit ll on 1482 which makes it one of the oldest mosques in Balkan, but it is very small and not that interesting. Just go there and give it a look while you are in The Fortress.
