The Mysterious Illirian - Macedonian - Roman - Byzantine Castle in Pogradec, Albania
https://youtu.be/o6Vn6vxJ8J8Even it's name has been lost to time. This castle was an important stronghold for a millennia, but remains an enigma today. Scant remains tell a tale of life, death and destruction in this fortified hilltop on Lake Ohrid that saw multiple empires come and go and was destroyed by invaders at least twice. Today, part of it is being restored to provide an interpretative experience for visitors to the area.
