Gjirokastër Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Gjirokastrës or Kalaja e Argjirosë) is a fortress in Gjirokastër, Albania (during Ottoman rule it was historically known as Ergiri while local Greeks referred to it as Argyrokastro, a name applied also to the castle). Gjirokastër Castle is situated at a height of 336 metres (1,102 ft).[1] The castle dominates the town and overlooks the strategically important route along the river valley. It is open to visitors and contains a military museum featuring captured artillery and memorabilia of the Communist resistance against German occupation, as well as a captured United States Air Force plane to commemorate the Communist regime's struggle against the imperialist western powers

Gjirokaster which is an old city about 1 hour away from Sarande it has a beautiful castle and the city belongs to Unesco world heritage list. In Gjirokaster you can visit the castle and the museum of the castle and also in the information point you can ask for the tour where a guide takes you to the most interesting houses of the old town and tells you about their history. If you like architecture it's, in my opinion, really interesting.
