Lëkurësi Castle

The Ottoman-period fortress sits on a hill above Saranda and offers views of the bay, the Butrint lagoon, and the coastline toward Corfu. Once a strategic point for monitoring the coast, it is today one of the best spots to appreciate the city's position between the sea and the mountains. In the evenings, both locals and visitors come here to watch the changing light over the bay.
