Shkodra city holds a significant cultural and economic position in Albania. Renowned as the hub of Albanian Catholicism, Shkodra exemplifies religious harmony in a singular nation. It was established in the 4th century B.C., serving as a crucial shield for trading routes along the Drin and Buna rivers for many years. In the 3rd century B.C., it became the capital of Illyria. Subsequently, it fell under Roman control and was a part of the medieval Serbian principality until it was acquired by the Turks in 1479. Rozafa castle, constructed in the 3rd century B.C., is a premier attraction in Shkodra. The city, with its narrow lanes, historic homes blending with modern structures connected by stone walls, encapsulates the essence of Albania. It is a destination worth exploring to truly experience Albania.
