Why Shkodra is special
Shkodra lies picturesquely on the shores of Lake Shkodra, northwest of Tirana. The city boasts an impressive history, as it was the main center of Queen Teuta’s Illyrian Kingdom. The Ardian tribe, an Illyrian people who ruled in the 3rd century BC, inhabited parts of present-day Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Shkodra's history
The Teuta era is an impressive epoch of Illyrian history, shaped by Queen Teuta in the 3rd century BC. Teuta, one of the most renowned rulers, governed decisively over a territory in present-day Albania. Her policies were characterized by maritime strength, clever diplomacy, and successful sea trade. She defended the kingdom against enemies and became a significant figure in Balkan history. Her conflicts with Rome, which ended in the Illyrian Wars, mark a remarkable chapter of this era.
