What to see in Kruja

Kruja was the center of Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg’s resistance in the 15th century and is today one of the most symbolic towns in Albania. Inside the castle are the Skanderbeg National Museum, the Ethnographic Museum and the Dollma Tekke, with wide views over the plain all the way to the sea.
