We visited the ruins of Zog's Castle, king of Albania from 1928 to 1939, and supposedly a descendant of Skanderbeg, Albania's national hero. The Royal family fled Albania when Mussolini's Italy invaded at the beginning of WWII. Zog hoarded gold coins and precious stones, and legends still circulate of treasure hidden in the abandoned rooms. The floors were pulled up in most places, and slabs of marble balustrades missing from the main staircase.

Beautiful sunset over Durres, as seen from the king's balcony
