Lekuresi Castle, perched high on a hill above the vibrant town of Sarande, is one of southern Albania’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1537 by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the castle was strategically positioned to control the coastline and defend against potential attacks from the Ionian Sea. Its location was no accident—it provided a commanding view of the sea routes, the surrounding countryside, and the important trade routes passing through the region.
Today, the castle stands as a proud reminder of Albania’s layered and complex history. Though partially restored, the stone walls, towers, and walkways still echo with the stories of soldiers, traders, and travelers who passed through its gates centuries ago. Walking through the ruins, visitors can feel the weight of time and the enduring presence of history all around them.
Beyond its historical significance, Lekuresi Castle is equally famous for its stunning panoramic views. From the castle grounds, one can admire a sweeping vista that includes the sparkling waters of the Ionian Sea, the nearby Greek island of Corfu, and the rolling hills of southern Albania. This breathtaking backdrop makes the castle a favorite spot for sunset watchers, photographers, and anyone seeking a peaceful moment in nature.
