Skanderbeg's fight against the Ottoman Empire remains, to this day, a symbol of strength and resilience. 🗡️ And there's no better place to feel it than Kruja — up there, high on the hilltop, stands one of the most significant landmarks in Northern Albania: Kruja Castle.
It's believed to have been built around the 5th century, and it was here that Skanderbeg, Albania's national hero, once had his seat of power. 🏇 The climb up will leave you a little breathless, but the view — and the feeling of walking through real history — makes every step worth it.
Today the castle houses a museum that tells the story of Skanderbeg's triumphs and his years of glory. 🦾 If you're passing through, don't skip it — this isn't just a pile of old stones, it's a place that reminds you just how resilient a people can be.
