The Venetian Tower in Durrës stands proudly as part of a former Byzantine fortress. This monumental cultural site has stood the test of time since the reign of Emperor Anastasius I. The tower evolved over time and rose to prominence under Venetian rule in the 15th century. Its cylindrical tower, strategically placed for artillery purposes, served as an important observation post in the defense of the city against threats from the sea. The tower remains a testament to Durrës's defensive past.
