Justinian Fortress is a cultural heritage monument of Albania located in Tirana. The Byzantine castle dates from 1300 and is the place where the main Roman roads crossed. Inside the former defensive walls are many tourist facilities, including restaurants and hotels. On June 10, 1973, the fortress in Tirana was declared a first-degree monument.
Tirana Castle was once the main fortress of the Albanian capital. Remains of the fortifications, preserved to this day, are mainly three towers that are undergoing renovation and a wall from the Ottoman times. A 6-meter-high Turkish ivy wall is practically the only fragment of the castle that has survived on the surface of the stronghold.
Tourists can also admire the old Ottoman building, whose main advantage is its unusually architectural value. Recently discovered fragments of the castle foundations and the remains of several stronghold walls are gradually included in the plan of the modern streets of the Albanian capital. The castle mosaic, which was unveiled near the Albanian Parliament on the 100th anniversary of Albania's independence, remains a tourist attraction.
