Pirogoshi Cave, Natural cave in Skrapar District, Albania.
The entrance of Pirogoshi Cave measures 30 meters in width and 5 meters in height, extending 1252 meters into limestone cliffs near Gradec canyon.
Italian speleologists from Puglia Grotte and Dauno groups completed the first comprehensive exploration of Pirogoshi Cave in 1995, documenting its extensive network of passages.
Local narratives connect the cave to King Pirro of Epirus, who reportedly used the extensive cavern system to store treasures from military campaigns.
Visitors can access the cave through a reconstructed path starting from Corovode town hall square, following the Skrapar river past the Kasabashi Bridge.
The cave interior contains formations of red cave pearls alongside stalactites, stalagmites, and stone waterfalls across multiple large halls and narrow galleries.
