Libohovë Castle, Ottoman castle in Libohovë, Albania
The rectangular fortress measures 70 by 80 meters and features three polygonal corner towers plus one irregular bastion in the fourth corner.
Ali Pasha of Tepelenë constructed this fortress between 1796 and 1798 as a wedding present for his sister Shanishe, who resided there until her death.
The castle stands as a testament to the Ottoman architectural influence in southern Albania, overlooking the Drino Valley and Bureto Mountain slopes.
Visitors can access the castle through a marked entrance situated in a local garden, and the site remains open to the public without admission fees.
The castle grounds contain an unexpected addition: a small concrete underground bunker positioned in the central courtyard of the fortress.
