The tour through this ancient city should conclude with the Castle of Durrës, otherwise known as the Venice Tower. The circular tower, built in the 15th century on Byzantine ruins, is one of the most recognized structures of the port-city. The date of its construction is indicated by the blocks that have survived to this day, the architectural relics and the documented expeditions of many archaeologists. Tourists can enter through a decorated brick door inside this 9-meter high tower. Over the curved wall of the cylinder-shaped building, stand five small windows that look out to the sea. The tower terrace is decorated with bedrails that resemble small castles with the stone staircase winding inside.

The Venetian tower of the medieval city walls welcomes you right at the entrance to the old town. A staircase takes you up to the platform on the roof - here you can enjoy one of the best views over the old town. A small café invites you to stay and enjoy snacks and refreshments. From here you can immediately take a nice walk through the city.

This monument consists of a single tower and wall, and is referred to in many guides as the Venetian Tower. It dates way back to the 400s, during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I who was born in this city. Since its construction Durres Castle has seen some serious action, having been reinforced by the Venetians just before the city’s conquest by the Ottomans. In 1939 the castle was the base for a ragtag collection of Albanian patriots trying to delay the advance of the Italian army. Some 360 locals held their ground successfully until armoured Italian units disembarked at the port and took the city.
