The Cape of Rodon or Cape of Skanderbeg (Albanian: Kepi i Rodonit or Kepi i Skenderbeut) is a rocky cape on the Adriatic Sea north of Durrës, Albania.[3] On the Cape is the Rodoni Castle, built by Skanderbeg in 1463.[4] and a Saint Anthony Church. Further south in the bay between the cape and Rrushkull Reserve there exist several beach resorts like “Lura” and “San Pietro Resort”, gathering a considerable amount of tourists during the summer months.
