The castle played a crucial role during the Albanian resistance against the Ottomans, especially under Skanderbeg from 1443 to 1468.

Preza Castle overlooks the village with the same name and is located on a hilltop. It is a small castle the construction of which started in the 14th century and was completed in the early 15th century and belonged to the Thopias, a local feudal family.

Preza Fortress is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places to visit near Tirana. Located on top of a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Tirana plain and surrounding mountains. The area is well maintained and perfect for a relaxing walk or capturing amazing sunset photos.

There is also a small restaurant at the top, which is a nice place to sit and enjoy the view — although the prices are a bit high by Albanian standards. Also, the toilet could definitely be cleaner and needs some maintenance.

Still, a great spot to escape the noise of the city and experience a piece of...

Really enjoyed my first time at Preza Castle. I didn't know about this castle until today. Preza dates back to about 2000 years ago with the construction of the castle. Preza Castle is a medieval castle. Built in the 15th century. Located on top of the hill northwest of the Preza town, between Tirana and Durrës in central Albania. Currently there are busses going there from Tirana I believe so only by car. The view is amazing. You see the castle ruins, Mosque, tower and playground. There is also a restaurant with delicious traditional food and a cafe inside the castle.
