Explore Elbasan - Half-Day Tour
Elbasan is a city situated in central Albania, with a rich history dating back to the ancient Illyrian kingdom of Skampa during the first millennium BC.
Archaeological evidence reveals that the city walls were reconstructed during the first half of the IV century AD. In 1466, Sultan Mohammed II renovated the walls and renamed the town El-Basan, which in Turkish means "the fortress."
During our visit to Elbasan, we stop to admire the impressive city walls before passing through the Bazaar Gate near the Clock Tower.
A must-see attraction in the city is St. Mary's and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Church, which boasts stunning stone arcades on its walls.
