Located on the Adriatic coast of western Albania, Durrës is the country's second largest city and largest seaport, just 30 kilometers from the capital, Tirana. As Albania's most important economic and transportation hub, Durrës, with a history of more than 2,500 years, is one of the oldest settlements in the Balkans.
The city's most famous landmark is the Roman amphitheater, built in the 2nd century AD, which seated 15,000 spectators and is one of the largest Roman monuments in the Balkans. The Archaeological Museum of Durrës contains valuable artifacts from Illyrian times to the Middle Ages, while the Venetian amphitheatre and the Byzantine walls bear witness to the historical layers of the convergence of multiple civilizations.
