Fortress Rozafa

Rozafa Castle, Shkoder Fortress
Albania, Shkoder
Rozafa Fortress is located in the north-east of Albania, near the city of Shkoder, on a high hill. The first mention of the fortress dates back to the 3rd century. The legend says that the castle is named after the beautiful girl Rozafa, who was immured alive. The fortress was partially destroyed, but several buildings remained inside the defensive walls. Now one of them houses a museum that tells about the history of the fortress.
