Albania
Kruja Castle
This medieval castle weathered multiple Ottoman sieges under the command of Skanderbeg. Today the site is a museum dedicated to the Albanian hero.
About
Just 7 years after deserting Ottoman forces, Skanderbeg would become Albania’s greatest hero for his series of victories over vastly superior Ottoman forces. Skanderbeg’s crowning achievement was holding Kruje Castle against a force of 100,000 men, led by Mehmed II The Conqueror himself. Built on the ruins of the original keep, visitors can learn about this pivotal point in Albanian history and enjoy fantastic views of the mountainous surroundings.
