Rozafa Castle

Built in Venetian limestone on a rock above the confluence of three rivers, Rozafa unfolds across three levels, with a chapel and surviving turrets marking the upper terraces. The climb up the cobbled approach road is worth doing on dry feet — reviewers note it turns slippery — and the reward at the top is a view taking in Shkodër, the lake and the mountains in one frame, best at sunset. Entry runs around 400 lek, with the small museum ticketed separately; families report paying roughly €6 total, children under twelve typically free. Over 6,100 Google reviews keep the rating at 4.5.
