Lezhë Castle (Albanian:Kalaja e Lezhës) is a castle dominating the city of Lezhë, northern Albania. Its highest point is 186 metres (610 ft). Lezhë Castle is at an elevation of 322 metres (1,056 ft).Lezhë Castle began from illyrian fortifiations. It was rebuilt by the Venetians in the 1440s and the Ottomans in 1522. In the late Middle Ages, the castle belonged to the Dukagjini family. The two brothers Tanush Thopia and (sons of Lekë I) through an agreement which preserved their trade rights and estates around the castle placed the city and the castle under Venetian control in 1393 as a means to defend it against Ottoman expansion. The Venetians formally ceded the castle to the Ottomans in 1506.

  • Het Kasteel van Lezhë (Albanees: Kalaja e Lezhës) is een burcht op een 186 meter hoge heuvel in de Albanese stad Lezhë, hoofdplaats van de gelijknamige prefectuur. Bezienswaardig zijn — ofschoon veel voor de leek niet meer als dusdanig herkenbaar is — met name de opslagplaats, het arsenaal, de uitkijktoren, de centrale moskee met rechthoekig grondplan en ruïnes van de minaretbasis in de noordwestelijke hoek (vroeger van wenteltrap voorzien), de zuidoostelijke toren met Romeinse boog en de toren aan de zuidkant. Op de heuvelflank op de weg naar het kasteel zijn net zoals in de stad resten van Illyrische versterkingen te zien. (nl)
  • Il castello di Alessio (in albanese: Kalaja e Lezhës) è una fortezza situata a Alessio, nell'Albania settentrionale. Sorge su un colle alto 186 m. Il castello fu costruito in epoca antica dagli Illiri. Nel 1440 fu ristrutturato dai Veneziani, e nel 1522, dopo la conquista da parte degli Ottomani.Il castello reca tracce di architettura illirica, romana, bizantina e ottomana. Luoghi interessanti da visitare sono le rovine degli edifici ottomani all'interno del castello, la moschea, la torre del muro sud-orientale con un arco romano e la torre illirica sul muro meridionale.
