Rodoni Castle, Medieval fortress on Cape Rodon, Albania
The castle extends along 400 meters of coastline with defensive towers positioned at each of its four corners on the Adriatic Sea.
Construction of the fortress began in 1450 under Skanderbeg's direction after the First Siege of Kruje, serving as a strategic maritime defense point.
The fortress stands as a Cultural Monument of Albania, with the ruins of Saint Peter's Church nearby adding to its historical significance.
Parts of the castle structure remain accessible to visitors, including the outer walls and an intersection tower, despite erosion from sea waves.
The Venetian Republic rebuilt the fortress in 1500 after Ottoman forces destroyed it, incorporating their architectural elements into the existing structure.
