Rrogozhinë (Albanian definite form: Rrogozhina) is a town and a municipality in Tirana County, centrally located in the Western Lowlands region of Albania. It was formed at the 2015 local government reform by the merger of the former municipalities Gosë, Kryevidh, Lekaj, Rrogozhinë and Sinaballaj, that became municipal units. The seat of the municipality is the town Rrogozhinë.
Positioned between Durrës, Lushnja and Elbasan, it is considered an important node of the VIII corridor and the railway intersection of Rrogozhinë – Durrës, Rrogozhinë – Vlorë and Rrogozhinë – Pogradec. On the coastline of Rrogozhina there are some of the most beautiful beaches along the shores of the Adriatic. Bashtova Castle, located in this territory, is considered one of the most important cultural heritage monuments of the area and a tourist attraction for foreign and domestic tourists. The laurel forest that flourishes around the Castle is considered a natural monument.
