    Venetian Tower of Durrës

    Descending on foot, we visit one of the city's ancient towers, a restored structure that serves as a panoramic balcony offering a breathtaking 360° view of Durrës and the sea. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the fortifications that once protected this strategic port city.

It is the third-largest amphitheater after those in Rome and Capua, a remarkable testament to the Roman era in this city.
