The quayside of the port of Durazzo (Durres) in Albania

The quayside of the port of Durazzo, Albania. The photographer is looking north-west from seaward showing a coastal passenger steamer, a 2-masted topsail schooner, a small steamer and a small 2-masted schooner alongside the quays. Another schooner is approaching the quay head-on. On the right the building with the sculpture adorning the roof is the National Bank of Albania which was built in 1925 and beyond it is the Fatih or Grand Mosque. On the hilltop is the Royal Villa which was initially built in 1926 but additions were not complete until 1937.
