Shkoder

Albania · Shkodër County

Shkoder is the fourth-most-populous city of Albania and the seat of Shkoder County and Shkoder Municipality. Shkoder has been continuously inhabited since the Early Bronze Age, and has roughly 2,200 years of recorded history. The city sprawls across the Plain of Mbishkodra between the southern part of Lake Shkoder and the foothills of the Albanian Alps on the banks of the Buna, Drin and Kir rivers. Due to its proximity to the Adriatic Sea, Shkoder is affected by a seasonal Mediterranean climate with continental influences.
