Relatively small castle but with a lot of historical value (you can clearly feel it when in there). The only reasons I rated it as 3X⭐ is because I couldnt see any sign of investment for maintenance in there, not even a minimum i.e. an information table or some little repairs on the walls.. In addition, if you go there would suggest wearing long sleeves as there are a lot of mosquitos present and ready to attack and get in your vehicle as I dont think it was ever disinfected since it was built back in the Byzantine times! Other then that, the rest is fine and easy access for any type of...

Previously in the Middle Ages, the region of Bashtovë was known as a trade harbor and otherwise centre for the export of grains. The origin of the fortress has been for some time a matter of dispute among historians. The initial fortress was constructed during the time when the region was part of the Venice.However, sources have asserted that the Venetians have built over an existing former structure, which dates back to the 6th century, when the area was under the Byzantine Empire during the reign of Justinian I...

Kalaja e Bashtovës (Castle Bashtova) ngrihet pranë fshatit tëVile-Bashtovës në një distancë prej 3-4 km, në veri të grykëderdhjes së lumit të Shkumbinit. Kështjella është ndërtuar në shekullin XV dhe u ka shërbyer venecianëve,per shkembime tregtare. Zona e Bashtovës është përmendur si një port lumor në Shkumbin si dhe një qendër e eksportit të drithërave. Kalaja ka trajtë katërkëndore me përmasa 60 x 90 mertra. Pjesa perëndimore e saj është rindërtuar në shekullin XVIII. Muret e saj kanë një lartësi prej 9 metrash,mendohet se kjo Keshtjelle ose Kala ka qene 2 kateshe,ku ne kat i saj eshte i fundosur nen sip.e tokes.

Castle of Bashtova is estimated to be built around 15th century. It's location is weird, because it's built in an open field, not on a mountain, which makes you think that it was probably used for training of soldiers. It's only walls surrounding a piece of land, so not much to see, but great spot for a picnic. No coffee shops around. Road to the castle is not very good. Virgin beach only 10mins from the castle (bad road though).

"Discover history's embrace at the Fortress of Bashtovë. Its impressive rectangular structure, flanked by sturdy round towers, speaks of strategic might. Well-preserved entrances and towering walls invite exploration of a bygone era. Step into a piece of the past and unravel the stories held within."

Another great touristic location in the map - an attractive castle and archeological site, rich in history to those who enjoy it, rich in breathtaking destinations to those who love to walk and bike, and great food to those of us who love to taste special food as well.
