Until the 1960s, Peqin hardly changed. After 1967, however, the place was heavily modernized and many mosques were destroyed. Parts of the large mosque and the associated clock tower from the 19th century in the central square and the fortress a little south of it have survived from the Ottoman period. The five-meter-high walls date from the 18th century, but were previously higher. With a length of 53 by 58 meters, they enclose an interior that is now almost empty, almost square. The fortress had two gates facing each other, round towers still stand at three corners, a fourth has been demolished. There was a small mosque in the fortress. If you have time, you should take a quick look at these remains of the fortress, unfortunately no pictures 🚴

Peqin is a town in central Albania with 6353 inhabitants. Peqin is the capital of the municipality of the same name. Until 2015, Peqin was an independent municipality with an area of 17 square kilometers. Then it was merged with the other municipalities of Peqin County in a territorial reform. It is definitely worth taking a short break here on the journey south on the Via Egnatia or stocking up on provisions 🚴
