Venetian Tower of Durrës
Kulla Veneciane
A medieval round tower on the Durrës seafront, part of the city walls from the Byzantine and Venetian periods. Its top has been turned into a bar with views of the Adriatic.
The tower is part of the Durrës city walls, which began in the Byzantine era and were reinforced during Venetian rule. The top of the tower is now a café-bar, where you can enjoy a drink while watching the port and the seafront promenade. Nearby are remnants of the city walls, an archaeological museum and a coastal walkway, and an evening stroll is especially pleasant. The tower is about a 5-minute walk from the amphitheatre.
