Experience one of Albania’s stunning cities, Kruja. This scenic location offers travelers the opportunity to appreciate impressive panoramas of the local surroundings, along with an extensive array of heritage spots. The city of Kruja houses the museum of renowned national figure, Skanderbeg, situated inside his fortress, making it an excellent location in Albania for gaining insights into our renowned national champion Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg and the country’s historical narrative. Skanderbeg’s courageous defense against the Ottoman forces and three sultans for a quarter of a century earned him the title of Athleta Cristi from the Pope, as he brought a halt to the Ottoman Empire’s westward progression. Tour the Ethnographic Museum to enlighten yourself with the customs and way of life of the Albanians during that era. After that, enjoy a tour of the Castle and take in the breathtaking view of the landscape, picturing the vigorous battles they engaged in with the Ottomans for 25 years to defend their fortress and town. Don’t miss a leisurely exploration of the 15-16th century old bazaar, a treasure trove of Albanian arts and crafts.
