Durrs, sometimes known as Durrsi, is the seat of the eponymous county and municipality in the Republic of Albania. It is situated on a flat plain between the mouths of the Erzen and Ishm rivers in the Adriatic Sea's south-eastern corner. It has a Mediterranean climate that changes with the seasons.

Durrs was built about the 7th century BC by Ancient Greek immigrants from Corinth and Corcyra under the name Epidamnos in collaboration with the native Illyrian Taulantii. The city, also known as Dyrrachium, grew when it became a part of the Roman Empire and its successor, the Byzantine Empire. The Via Egnatia, a continuation of the Via Appia, began at the city and proceeded eastward over the Balkan Peninsula to Constantinople.

Durrs was disputed in the Middle Ages by Bulgarian, Venetian, and Ottoman dominions. For a short time after the Albanian Declaration of Independence, the city served as the capital of the Principality of Albania. It was then seized by the Kingdom of Italy during the interwar era and occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. Durrs saw rapid growth in its demographic and economic activities during Albania's Communism.

Durrs' dominant economic position in Albania is based on its transportation links, concentration of economic institutions, and industrial heritage. It is supplied by the Port of Durrs, which is one of the largest on the Adriatic Sea and connects the city to other neighboring nations. Its most notable attraction is the Durrs Amphitheatre, which is on Albania's tentative list for nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was formerly the largest amphitheatre on the Balkan Peninsula, with a capacity of 20,000 people.
