Balkanlardaki en büyük ikinci kalesi olan Gjirokaster Kalesi, Roma İmparatorluğu döneminde etrafı surlarla çevrilmiştir. Osmanlı döneminde de kullanılan kale 1811 yılında Ali Paşa tarafından genişletilmiştir. 1900’lerde ise mahkumların tutulduğu zindana çevrilmiştir.

Gjirokaster Castle, the second largest castle in the Balkans, was surrounded by walls during the Roman Empire. The castle, which was used in the Ottoman period, was expanded in 1811 by Ali Pasha. In the 1900s, it was turned into a dungeon where prisoners were kept.
