Durrës Amphitheatre - The weathered Roman-era Amphitheatre of Durrës was built on the hillside inside the city walls in the early 2nd century AD.In its prime it had the capacity to seat 15,000 to 18,000 spectators, but these days a few inhabited houses occupy the stage, a reminder of its recent rediscovery (in 1966) and excavation. The Byzantine chapel in the amphitheatre has several beautiful mosaics.

For a significant portion of the 20th century, Albania remained a mystery - inaccessible to foreigners. Its crinkled mountains, ancient towns, and dazzling coastlines were uncharted territory on most tourist maps until the early 90s. As a harsh communist regime ended in 1991, Albania cautiously opened its doors to the world. The inaugural wave of explorers found a land still heavily influenced by age-old customs and home to the neglected ruins of Ancient Greek and Roman heritage. A quarter-century after casting off the communist yoke, Albania’s breathtaking mountain landscapes, decaying fortresses, energetic capital, and idyllic beaches that can rival any in the Mediterranean continue to captivate. However, hurry, as Albania’s secrets are gradually unveiled, the currently sparse stream of tourists is likely to turn into a deluge.
