Durrës is the second most populous city of the Republic of Albania and seat of Durrës County and Durrës Municipality. The coastal city of Durrës, located a convenient 34 km from Tirana, is home to Albania’s largest port—and is one of the country’s most ancient cities. “The eternal city” over the Adriatic has a 3,000-year history, its founding dating back to 627 B.C.E.
Durrës is the second most populous city in the Republic of Albania and the county and municipal capital of Durrës. It is situated on a flat plain along the Albanian Adriatic Sea coastline between the mouths of the Erzen and Ishm rivers at the southeast corner of the Adriatic Sea. The climate of Durrës is heavily affected by the seasonal Mediterranean climate.
Ancient Greek immigrants from Corinth and Corcyra established Durrës in the 7th century B.C. under the name Epidamnos, in collaboration with the Taulantii.
Durrës, also known as Dyrrachium, grew substantially as it integrated into the Roman Empire and its successor, the Byzantine Empire. The Via Egnatia, the continuation of the Via Appia, began at the city and continued to Constantinople over the interior of the Balkan Peninsula.
During the Middle Ages, Bulgarian, Venetian, and Ottoman control vied over Durrës. The Ottomans finally triumphed and ruled the city for about 400 years, from 1501 to 1912. Following the Declaration of Independence of Albania, the city briefly served as the capital of the Principality of Albania. In the interwar era, it was conquered by the Kingdom of Italy, and during World War II, it was occupied by Nazi Germany. During Albania’s communist era, the population and economic activity of Durrës grew significantly.
Durrës’ dominant economic position in Albania is supported by its transit links, concentration of economic institutions, and industrial history. It is supplied by one of the major ports on the Adriatic Sea, the Port of Durrës, which links the city to neighboring nations. Its most notable attraction is the Amphitheatre of Durrës, which is on Albania’s tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Site classification. It was formerly capable of accommodating 20,000 people, making it the biggest amphitheater on the Balkan Peninsula.
Geography
Durrës is situated on Durrës Bay on a flat alluvial plain between the river mouths of Erzen and Ishëm along the Adriatic Sea inside the Mediterranean Sea. The municipality of Durrës comprises the surrounding administrative units of Ishëm, Katund I Ri, Manz, Rrashbull, Sukth, and Durrës as its seat. It is included within the County of Durrës in the Northern Region of Albania. It spans from the mouth of the Ishëm River at Cape Rodon in the north to the Shkëmbi i Kavajës in the south, through the Bay of Lalzi.
Climate
The average annual temperature of 15.9 °C (60.6 °F) places Durrës on the edge of the hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Csa) zone, according the Koppen climate classification. Its climate is affected by its closeness to the Adriatic Sea and the Western Lowlands in the hinterland. The summers are often hot and dry, the winters are quite moderate, and the autumn and spring seasons are mostly constant in terms of precipitation and temperature. In winter, the average monthly temperature varies from 7.5 °C (45.5 °F) to 23.8 °C (74.8 °F). On August 14, 1957, the greatest temperature of 39 °C (102 °F) was recorded. On January 26, 1954, the lowest temperature of 6.2 °C (20.8 °F) was recorded. The city of Durrës gets more precipitation in the winter than in the summer. The average annual precipitation is between 1,000 and 1,273 millimeters (39 and 48 inches) (50.1 inches).
Demography
With a rising population, Durrës is the second most populated municipality in Albania and one of the most populous on the Adriatic Sea. According to the 2011 census, the population of Durrës was predicted to be 113,249, with 56,511 males and 56,738 females.
Albania is a secular state with no official religion, and the country’s constitution guarantees freedom of belief, conscience, and religion. Therefore, Durrës is religiously varied and has several places of worship for its religious community, which includes Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
During the Ottoman invasion in the early 16th century, Islam was brought to the city. During the four centuries of Ottoman administration, the majority of the people converted to Islam. The two most famous mosques in the city are the Great Mosque of Durrës (constructed in 1931 on the site of an ancient Ottoman mosque) and the Fatih Mosque, which was constructed in 1502 only one year after the city became part of the Ottoman Empire.
Christianity has existed in Durrës and elsewhere throughout Albania since ancient antiquity. According to Christian sources, the apostle Paul built the archbishopric of Durrës when he was preaching in Illyria and Epirus, and there were perhaps seventy Christian households in the city during the time of the apostles. The Albanian Orthodox Church, which has been autocephalous since 1923, is subdivided into the archbishopric of Tirana–Durrës, led by the Metropolitan, and the local church districts of Tirana, Durrës, Shkodr, and Elbasan.
Culture
The Aleksandr Moisiu Theatre, the Estrada Theatre, a puppet theatre, and the Philharmonic Orchestra are in the core of the city’s theatrical and musical activities. The Durrës International Film Summerfest, which began in 2008, is held at the amphitheater in late August or early September. Miss Globe International was held in Durrës in 2004 and 2009.
The city is home to several architectural styles that reflect significant historical eras. The building draws inspiration from Illyrian, Greek, Roman, and Italian styles. A portion of Durrës became a modernist metropolis in the 21st century, with vast apartment complexes, contemporary new buildings, new commercial centres, and numerous green areas.
Durrës has a rich history of education, dating from the dawn of civilization to the present day. After the collapse of communism in Albania in 1990, a restructuring plan was unveiled that would increase the length of obligatory education from eight to 10 years. The educational system descended into disarray the year after a significant economic and political crisis in Albania and the consequent collapse of public order. Many schools were later restored or refurbished to enhance learning environments, particularly in the nation’s largest cities. Academic institutions in Durrës include the University of Durrës, the Albanian College of Durrës, the Kajtazi Brothers Educational Institute, the Gjergj Kastrioti High School, the Naim Frashri High School, the Sports mastery school Benardin Qerraxhiu, and the Jani Kukuzeli Artistic Lycee.
The Byzantine city wall, also known as Durrës Castle, is one of the city’s most popular attractions, while the biggest amphitheatre in the Balkans is located near the city’s port. This fifth-century structure is under consideration for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Durrës is home to the country’s biggest archaeological museum, the Durrës Archaeological Museum, which is situated near the shore. The Byzantine fortifications of the sixth century, erected following the Visigoth invasion of 481, are located to the north of the museum. The majority of the museum’s collection consists of artifacts from the adjacent ancient site of Dyrrhachium, in addition to a vast collection of artifacts from the Illyrian, Ancient Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman eras. Important artifacts include Roman funeral steles and stone sarcophagi, a colourful oval mosaic spanning 17 by 10 feet (5 m 3 m) known as The Beauty of Durrës, and a collection of small busts of Venus, a relic of the period when Durrës was a center of goddess worship. In addition to the Royal Villa of Durrës and the Museum of History (in the home of the actor Aleksandr Moisiu), there are various more museums.
Economy
Due to its port and closeness to the Italian port towns, particularly Bari, to which daily ferries sail, Durrës is a vital gateway to Western Europe. In addition to the dockyard, it has a significant shipbuilding and industrial businesses, including the production of leather, plastic, and tobacco goods.
The southern section of Golem’s coastline is famed for its typical mass beach tourism as a result of unrestrained urbanization. The city’s beaches are also a popular tourist attraction for both domestic and international visitors. New water sanitation systems are being implemented in 2012 to reduce marine water contamination. Since 2009, a number of beach resorts have been constructed along the northern shore of Lalzit Bay, which has remained mostly pristine and is slated to become an exclusive tourist destination. The neighboring regions are renowned for the production of high-quality wine and a variety of delicacies.
According to the World Bank, in 2016 Durrës took important efforts toward launching a company. Among the 22 cities in Southeastern Europe, Durrës ranks ninth, after the capital Tirana, Belgrade, Serbia, and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
