Persqopi Castle

The Persqopi Castle is a 4th century BC era Illyrian ancient city, located near modern Tirana, Albania.

The Persqopi settlement can be dated to the second half of the 4th century BC.

At 590 m over the level of sea, its strategic position facilitated the control of a large territory of the roads around the mountain.

Its fortifying wall is one of the best preserved in the Albanian territory, and is 60 m long and 7 m high.

[1] [2] Funding became available to the Albanian Fund for Development in 2011 for a feasibility study to build a road to the site, as well as to make the site an archaeological attraction, however until now neither project has been completed.
