Shkëmb i Kavajës, Rock formation near Kavajë, Albania.

Shkëmb i Kavajës is a conglomerate and sandstone rock formation located along the shoreline near Durrës Bay on the Albanian coast. The structure displays distinct geological layers and natural patterns that have formed over millennia of coastal processes.

The rock was the site of the Battle of Dyrrah around 48 BC, where Julius Caesar and Pompey clashed during Caesar's Civil War. Its strategic position made it a critical location in this pivotal conflict.

The rock's name comes from the town of Kavajë, and a hotel on the shore below carries Pompey's name, though few guests know why. No information boards mark the battles fought here, and the site is now known mainly for the beach along its base.

The formation is accessible from the nearby coastal area and can be reached by foot along the shoreline or through designated routes. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and exercise caution, as the terrain is natural and may have uneven surfaces.

During the communist decades the whole area around the rock was a closed military zone. A network of deep tunnels was dug inside it, holding a coastal artillery battery with a range of up to 27 kilometres plus armoured units. Together with Sazan Island it was counted among the two impregnable points of the Albanian coast.
