    Porto Palermo Castle

    HimarëAlbaniaEarly 19th century

    Situated on a scenic peninsula in a secluded bay along the Albanian Riviera, Porto Palermo Castle is a triangular stone fortress built by Ali Pasha of Tepelena in the early 19th century. Later used as a political prison and secret military garrison during Albania's communist era, the dark subterranean cells are associated with phantom whispers, sudden cold spots, and eerie atmospheric echoes.
