Borsh Castle (Sopot Castle)

Albania / Vlore / Himare /
Kalaja e Sopotit (Sopot Castle), also known as Borsh Castle. The Sopot hill on which rises the castle, is situated north of the village Borsh. Its surface is rocky and occupies an area of 57 ha. In the IV-I century BC the city begins to expand not only in the upper hill, but also on the western slopes and in its northern area.

In the medieval period it was adopted as a military garrison and the castle was reinforced beginning in the late 18th century by Ali Pasha Tepelena. The only mosque on the Albanian Riviera, built by Ali Pasha, can be found here.
