Know before you go
  • Petrelë Castle is located 15 km south of Tirana. It is famous for its history and its beautiful views. In ancient times Petrelë was also known in documents as Petralba, which translated from Greek means 'the stone' of 'alba', therefore 'The stone of Albanians'. It is called such because the town and its Castle are built on a massive stone. Petrelë's Castle is one of the oldest structures in the area. The tower in the center was built in the 5th century AD, although most of the remainder is Byzantine dating from between the 11th and 14th centuries. The Castle was primarily watched for Ottoman troops marching towards inner Albania. In Ottoman times, the Castle was the house of Scanderbeg's sister (Mamica Kastrioti). The town and Castle were also very dear to Scanderbeg, and he used to take time off to come and rest in the area.
