Rozafa Castle, near the city of Shkoder, in northwestern Albania. The castle hill has been settled since antiquity by the Illyrian until it was captured by the Romans in 167 BC. It has also been the site of several famous sieges and was rebuilt much later by the Venetians, then the Turks. The castle fortress takes its name from a woman who was allegedly walled into the ramparts as an offering to the gods so that the construction would stand. (May 18, 2019)
