For an adventurous day out follow the coastal road north to this fortress in a photogenic setting at the end of a rugged peninsula.
When the famous castle at Krujë withstood its first attack from the Ottomans, Albania’s feudal lords took the opportunity to bolster the region’s coastal defences. The castle was built in 1452 and at the time covered most of the tip of the cape.
The Ottomans did return to complete their conquest in the 1460s, and Skanderbeg used Rodoni Castle as a point of embarkation for his escape from Albania to Brindisi in Italy.
