What To Expect

Kruja Castle

Located atop a rugged hill in central Albania, the castle offers a captivating journey through centuries of tumultuous events and cultural heritage.Upon arrival at the castle, we are greeted by imposing stone walls and sturdy towers that have withstood the tests of time. These fortifications, dating back to the 5th century, serve as a tangible reminder of the castle's strategic importance in defending the region against invading forces.The main citadel, perched majestically at the highest point of the fortress, houses a museum dedicated to one of Albania's most revered figures: Gjergj Kastrioti, better known as Skanderbeg. Inside, artifacts and exhibits chronicle Skanderbeg's valiant efforts to resist the Ottoman Empire's advance, showcasing replicas of his armor, weapons, and personal effects. In sum, a visit to the Castle of Kruja is more than a journey through time – it is an exploration of Albania's enduring legacy of courage, defiance, and cultural richness.
