The only castle build in the field make Bashtova castle unique and very atracting. Build by Venetians(for comercial use) in the bank of Shkumbin river make it's a very unique due to it's approximity of Adriatik sea. Recognized as Monument of Culture by Ministry of Culture of Albania it's well conserved and maintained and also opened for the wide public and tourists.

So cool, just a castle sitting in a field. Easy to find. There is no entrance fee, you just walk in and explore.

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).

Huge, very beautiful, near the sea.

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.

Medieval castle of boshtove, a great local find, not on tourist maps, free entrance

Amazing castle in Albania

Very interesting place

It is an ancient castle and it was builded on a field near the river and the sea.It is a must to see for who seek history or who wants to see something particular. If you visit it in summer time, you will enjoy the sea too which is 1 km far from there or you may visit it in spring and you'll find it with green vegetables around it

Fortress of Bashtova is situated in an open area not in a dominant point like usually happens with fortress. There is a lot of history about this famious fortress.it is listed in touristic guide. Many tourists like to visit this interesting fortress. The guide explain to them about it and a lot more about the history.

Fantastic location! I don’t know any other way to get there by car but it was worth the visit. A couple people stopped by while we were visiting and a local told us that the location was actually a trade post on the secondary road of the Via Egnatia!

It’s really nice fortress, you can visit the fortress and visit the beach at the same time

Sad it was not allowed to get in on a normal working day, but the castle is nice.

"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."

The only castle in coast in all Balkans. With a beautiful place and unique architecture, you must go and see it

Nice place.

Serene nice fortress. Reached by car. Could use an information sign as we wanted to know more about it.

Apart from the fortification walls, there is nothing to see. Also expect no tourist amenities.

Beautiful place! Lots of history! Even an albanian movie about the independence of Albania was shot here.

Very nice place.

Grate old castle 🏰 !

(Translated by Google) Castle-ruin in fairly good condition. The historical site can be seen on the way to the beach (Original) Zamek- ruina w dość dobrym stanie. Miejsce historyczne można zobaczyć w drodze na plażę

(Translated by Google) Place that should have been calm. We had the right to a wedding photo shoot and a film shoot with horses. Despite all very calm night. (Original) Endroit qui aurait du être calme. Avons eu le droit à une séance photos de mariés et un tournage de film avec chevaux. Malgré tout nuit très calme.

Quite intact and you can even drive into the centre of it. Some information on the board at the entrance in English. Worth a small detour to visit I'd say.

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Shume bukur

(Translated by Google) Just an old dilapidated fort) (Original) Просто старый полуразрушенный форт)

(Translated by Google) Fantastic left in God's hands. And a real pity for this wonder. (Original) Fantastico lasciato in mani di Dio . E un vero peccato per questa meraviglia.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful place. (Original) Ësht vend shum i bukur.

(Translated by Google) Slightly neglected, weedy, no railing on the wall. There are huge potholes on the way there. I would like to put it on the UNESCO World Heritage List, so it needs to be developed! (Original) Kicsit elhanyagolt, gazos, korlát nincs a falon. Az odavezető úton óriási kátyúk. Fel szeretnék vetetni az UNESCO világörökségi listára, hát ahhoz bizony meg fejleszteni kell!
