Lake Skadar Essentials

Meer Skadar, het grootste meer op de Balkan, strekt zich uit over de grens van Montenegro en Albanië. Deze collectie bevat de Mesi-brug uit het Ottomaanse tijdperk en het oude Rozafa-kasteel met uitzicht op Shkodër. Hoogtepunten zijn het iconische uitzichtspunt Pavlova strana, het 14e-eeuwse Starčevo-klooster op een afgelegen eiland en de ruïnes van Fortress Old Bar. Deze locaties vertegenwoordigen de diverse geschiedenis van de regio, van middeleeuwse vestingwerken en religieuze toevluchtsoorden op eilanden tot belangrijke religieuze architectuur zoals de Shkodër-kathedraal en de Ebu Beker-moskee.
