Durrës is the second largest city in Albania and is located like Tirana’s port city on the Albanian Adriatic coast. The city’s early history started with the arrival of Greek settlers from Corinth and Korkyra in the 6th century BC. At that time the city was called Epidamnos, and it was also known as Dyrrachium. Dürres became part of the Roman Empire and later also the Byzantine Empire.
In the Middle Ages, both Bulgarians and Venetians fought over Durrës and the well-located area. In 1501, the Ottomans captured the city and their rule was maintained until 1912, before the Albanians gained their independence and freedom. Durrës briefly became the capital of the Principality of Albania, which soon became part of Italy. During World War II, Durrës was occupied by German troops, and after the war, the city became part of communist Albania.
Today, there are many sights to experience during a visit to Durrës, and they span several eras in the city’s long history. You can take a walk through pleasant streets and over squares in the city, where you can start at the beautifully landscaped square, Sheshi Liria, for example. A little to the south is the partially preserved Roman amphitheater, Amfiteatri i Durrësit, which was built from the 100s BC under Emperor Trajan.
Durrës is also a lovely holiday town with a mild Mediterranean climate and beautiful beaches. There were of course good reasons why King Zog of Albania had a summer palace in the city. It’s called Vila rênzore e Durrësit, and you can still see it in a nice place with a panoramic view of the sea. You can also enjoy a walk along the promenades along the sea west of the city center and the long beaches in the suburbs south of Durrës.
Tirana is the capital of Albania and for decades, it was one of Europe’s most closed and inaccessible cities for tourists. Today it is almost the other way around when you think of exploring the sights and neighborhoods and in the meeting with the friendly people of Albania.
Tirana is a city created through centuries of diverse construction from a variety of rulers and the culture and style of leaders. The 13th century Justinian Fort once formed the center of the city, which has since been influenced by not least the Ottoman Empire, Italy and the special Albanian communism.
