Shkodra city is an important cultural and economical center of Albania. Shkodra is also known as the center of the Albanian Catholicism and a perfect proof of the fact that all different religions can adjoin in one country. The city was founded in the 4th century B.C. and for a long time had an important protecting role, it protected the trade routes on the rivers of Drin and Buna. It became the capital of Illyria in the 3d century B.C. Than it was conquered by the Romans and than was a part of the medieval Serbian principality till it was gained by the Turks in 1479. The main sight-seeing place in Shkoder is the castle of Rozafa, which was built in the 3d century B.C. Shkoder is truly the soul of Albania with its narrow street and ancient houses that are united with stone walls and modern buildings. It is the place worth visiting to feel the real Albania.

Rozafa Castle
We drive for 2 hours to Shkodra and first visit in Rozafa Castle. Built on a rocky hill overlooking the city by the rivers of Buna and Drini, you will find the most important monument of Shkoder, The Castle of Rozafa. Shkodra has been occupied several times throughout history: First by the Romans (168 B.C.), then the Serbians (1040), the Venetians (1396), and finally by the Ottomans (1479). It is surrounded by the waters of three rivers; the Drini, Buna, and Kiri. Much like the town it protected, the castle has Illyrian origins. According to the historian Tit Livi, “it was the strongest area of the Labeats.”
Mesi Bridge
Mesi Bidge is the largest and best-preserved Ottoman bridge in Albania. It was built in the 18th century, around 1770, by Kara Mahmud Bushati, the local Ottoman pasha. The bridge is 108 meters long, 3m wide and has 13 arches, of which the elegant main span measures 13m. The Kiri river it crosses has incredibly blue, clear mountain water.

5.00We had a great day with Adam. He told us a lot about Albanian history and could answer all our questions thoroughly with interesting information about the former regime. His English is fluent as he lived in England for many years. He was flexible and accommodated our requests. We recommend his tours.
Enjoyable trip with amazing guide

5.00I made this wonderful trip today and can just recommend it to everyone. Shkodra is an amazing place! If you get the chance, ask for Adam as your tour guide. He really is one of the best I have ever met. He knows everything about Albania and has a thousand stories to tell! He lived in England for a while, so his English is incredibly good. Since I had a (not planned) private tour, he was a bit flexible regarding the itinary and tried to fulfil all the wishes I had. A big plus is that he seems to know everyone around, so you will be surrounded with a lot of Albanians during your trip.
