The architectural elements of Grazhdani Castle reflect the medieval building techniques used by Albanian craftsmen, incorporating local stone and construction methods.

Visitors can reach the castle by following marked trails from the village of Grazhdan, with the site open for exploration during daylight hours.

At 575 meters above sea level, the castle walls contain preserved sections that demonstrate the evolution of fortification techniques over multiple centuries.
