  • Descending on foot, we visit one of the city's ancient towers, a restored structure that serves as a panoramic balcony offering a breathtaking 360u00b0 view of Durru00ebs and the sea. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the fortifications that once protected this strategic port city.

  • Next, we head to the Durru00ebs Amphitheater, one of the most important ancient monuments in Albania. It is the third-largest amphitheater after those in Rome and Capua, a remarkable testament to the Roman era in this city. Although only a small part of it has been uncovered, we will have the chance to explore the section open to visitors and imagine the grand spectacles that once took place here.
