Elbasan castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Elbasanit) is a 15th-century fortress in the city of Elbasan, Albania.[1] The castle was initially composed of 26 equidistant 9-metre (30 ft) high towers. Part of Via Egnatia passes through the castle.

Sinan Pasha's Turkish bath is within the walls of the castle. It is a well-preserved attraction built in the early 19th century.
