Step off the beaten path and journey into Albania’s hidden ancient past with this half-day guided tour to the Royal Tombs of Selca. Nestled in the dramatic mountains above Lake Ohrid, this archaeological site offers a rare glimpse into Illyrian civilization and their monumental burial practices. You’ll explore rock-cut tombs carved directly into the cliffs, walk through a quiet landscape rich in legends, and learn how Selca once stood as a thriving royal center over 2,300 years ago. This experience is ideal for history lovers, archaeology enthusiasts, and travelers seeking an authentic, off-the-grid cultural adventure. The Royal Tombs of Selca e Poshtme are unique due to their amphitheater-like shape, a rare architectural feature for tombs, and their Ionic architectural style. They are also remarkable for being associated with an ancient city and representing a significant Illyrian royal necropolis with rich burial goods.
