Three generations of the Marubi studio photographed northern Albania from 1856 onward, and the archive runs to half a million negatives — highland clans, Ottoman officials, weddings, executions. It is the best hour indoors in Shkodër and the only place that makes the region's last century legible. Check the hours before going; published times disagree with each other.

St. Mary Monastery

A short steep walk above the old Dhërmi village brings you to this peaceful monastery. The views over the Ionian Sea are the best in the area — combine with exploring the stone streets of old Dhërmi.

Rozafa Castle

The ramparts sit above the point where the Buna, Drin and Kir rivers meet, which is the view everyone climbs for. The legend attached to it — a woman walled into the foundations so the castle would stand, permitted to leave one breast exposed to feed her son — is still told locally and is grimmer than the guidebooks suggest. Winter hours are shorter and it closes Mondays out of season.
