About Badhër Castle
Badhër Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Badhrës) is a prehistoric fortified hilltop site and later medieval ruin near Borsh, in southern Albania. It occupies a strategic position above the coastal road between Borsh and Piqeras, overlooking the Ionian Sea. Archaeological evidence places Badhër within the network of small fortified settlements that developed along the Ionian coast during the Late Bronze Age.
These sites mark one of the earliest phases of fortified occupation known in the region and form part of the early Illyrian cultural landscape. Surveys in the Borsh area group Badhër with nearby fortified hills such as Kukum, Çip, Gjashnjar, Borsh (Sopot) and Karos.
