Summary from Shqip / Albanian Wikipedia (sqwiki)

Kalaja e Skelës është një monument i trashëgimisë kulturore në rrethin e Vlorës, në qarkun e Vlorës, Shqipëri Kalaja është ndërtuar nga Sulejmani i Madhërishëm në vitin 1531. Kalaja ka qënë rreth 4 kilometra larg nga qyteti. Kështjella e Skelës ka ekzistuar e plotë dhe e mirëmbajtur deri në fillim të shekullit XX. Për fat të keq ajo u shkatërrua në vitin 1906, gurët e mureve të saj u përdorën si material për të ndërtuar rrugën Vlorë-Skelë. Në vitin 1978, gjatë punimeve për hapjen e themeleve për ndërtimin e Pallatit të Sportit në Vlorë, punëtorët hasën në gjurmët e mureve të kalasë shumëshekullore. Megjithatë, gjurmët u mbuluan dhe, ato çka kishin mbetur nga kështjella, humbën nën themelet dhe muret e pallatit të sportit Flamurtari .rena
