Kruje

The castle of Kruje is an impressive hillside castle, which is located above the city of Kruje. The castle has breathtaking views of the surrounding area and Tirana city in the distance. The small medieval castle is famous in Albania, because it was the headquarters of the national hero Skanderbeg. In the 15th century, the powerful Turkish Ottoman empire was conquering the Balkans. However, the Ottoman Turks were not able to break the defences of the Kruje Castle. The rebellion against the Ottomans was lead by Albania's national hero Skanderbeg. He had serious military skills, and therefore, he was compared to Alexander the Great.
