Cape of Rodon

The Cape of Rodon is a natural wonder and it is a hidden gem in Albania. The Cape of Rodon is a rocky peninsula that points into the Adriatic Sea. The cape of Rodon is also known as the Cape of Skanderbeg or "Kepi i Rodonit".The cape is completely overgrown by nature and untouched by humans. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Tirana. However, from the parking space, the cape can only be reached by hiking along a trail for about 45 minutes. At the end of the trail, you will see the Cape of Rodon. From the hill, you will have beautiful views of the lush green cape, which points into the wild sea. From the hill, you can descent to the Cape to visit the Rodoni Castle.During the communist period, the Cape of Rodon was a restricted area. Since, it served as a military base by the coast. Along the walking trail, you will see numerous bunkers and tunnels, which remind the Albanian people of the strict communist regime of Enver Hoxha.

However, in 1467, the Ottoman Turks destroyed the castle. The castle was later rebuilt by the Venetians after 1500.

The Church of St Anthony is one of the first sights you see, when you arrive to the Cape of Rodon. The church is a beautiful sight, as it has the sea and the beach in the background. The church was originally built in the 12th century, but it was rebuilt in the 15th century. It has a Romanesque-Gothic style and it was a part of the Franciscan monastery. During the communist regime, the church was used as a military depot, but after the fall of the communism it was restored. There are several beautiful frescoes inside the church.
