Discover the medieval charm of Kruja, where history and craftsmanship intertwine amidst stunning natural beauty.

Once home to the ancient Illyrians, it holds profound historical significance as it was the center of Albania’s first independent state since the 12th century.

At the heart of its legacy stands the 15th-century heroics of Skanderbeg, who transformed the city into a bastion of defiance against the Ottoman Empire.

The Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg Museum, housed within ancient castle walls from the 5th and 6th centuries A.D., pays homage to his enduring legacy.

Within the castle’s confines you can explore the Ethnographic Museum, Dollma
Tekke, and the Old Bazaar. With Mount Kruja as its backdrop, the town offers breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding landscape.
