Triangular Castle, Medieval fortification in Butrint, Albania.
The triangular fortress stands with round towers at each corner, positioned strategically alongside the Vivari Channel within Butrint National Park boundaries.
Venetian builders constructed this military structure during the fifteenth century to safeguard fishing operations and provide protection for the local settlement.
The fortress design represents Venetian military architecture, incorporating elements that reflect the strategic requirements of coastal defense in the Adriatic region.
Access to the castle requires crossing the Vivari Channel via cable ferry after taking an hourly bus to Butrint for 100 leke.
The fortress contains a circular structure in its courtyard, possibly a hammam from the Ottoman period, adding to its architectural composition.
