Known by the locals as Ali Pasha Tepelena, this castle was designed by a Frenchmen and built in the shape of a pentagon with large stone blocks – some as wide as 1.6 metres.
In 2014 The Huffington Post listed the village of Porto-Palermo as a top 35 Undiscovered European Destination.
Soon to be declared protected land and a historical site, the castle was once a prison during World War II, and there are still some Albanians around who were held there.
