The Royal Villa of Durrës was built for King Zog I in the early 20th century and now serves as a state guesthouse and event venue. Perched on a hill overlooking the Adriatic, the villa features neoclassical architecture, ornate interiors, and manicured gardens. Visitors can tour the grand rooms, see period furnishings, and stroll the grounds with panoramic sea views. It offers a unique look at Albania's monarchy and is a popular spot for history buffs.
