Preza Castle
When you arriva at the top of the hill, you have a breathtaking view towards the mountains, the valley, Tirana city and Kruje city. You can climb up the staircase to the Castle of Preze, from where you can see a beautiful natural mountain lake in the hills.
One of the best spots in the castle is the tower, which is located on top of the little cafe. You can sit down in the tower, order a coffee and take in the panoramic view.
The Castle of Preza was originally built in the 14th century by the local Thopias family. However, it was in the 15th century that the castle became famous in Albania. Because the castle was used by Albania's national hero Skanderbeg in his resistance against the Ottoman invasion.
Inside the castle, you can consume some drinks from the cafe inside the castle walls. There is also a lovely stone restaurant on site, which serves Albanian specialities.
