Fortress walls
The castle's near-square enclosure sits in the city centre, its old lanes and wall line forming the most recognisable shape on the map.

The map
About this Elbasan map poster
Elbasan lies in central Albania on the broad valley of the Shkumbin River, a natural corridor between the Adriatic coast and the interior. The river runs along the southern side of the city, and the plain opens out towards the west. To the north, hills rise quickly, so the city's growth has spread mainly east and west along the valley floor.
At the centre is the fortress, rebuilt by the Ottomans in the fifteenth century on the site of the Roman station of Scampa, which stood on the Via Egnatia. Its walls still enclose a square old quarter. West of the city, the huge metallurgical complex built in the communist era with Chinese help remains a landmark of a very different period.
An Elbasan map poster makes the fortress the visual anchor: a clear rectangle of walls within irregular streets. Around it, boulevards and newer blocks fill the valley, the Shkumbin traces a soft line along the bottom, and the industrial zone to the west adds large, geometric footprints that balance the historic heart.

Shkumbin River
The river flows along the southern edge of the city, its wide bed and gravel banks marking where the built-up area stops.
Valley corridor
Roads and rail follow the Shkumbin valley east and west, echoing the ancient Via Egnatia route that once passed through here.
