It is on the slope of a mountain. The name Kruja is closely connected with the name of the national hero George Kastriot Scanderbeg who fought against the Ottomans for 25 years in succession, defending European civilization from their threat in the 15th century. At a prominent and a strategic place near the city there is a Castle housing the Scanderbeg Museum (national Museum). A medieval bazaar is on the way to the castle.   Click to enlarge Pictures from: Ardenica  Berat  Butrint  Dajti, glide with the gondola  Dardha  Brarë/Tirana, a day off  Fauna  Flora 1  Flora 2  Jala Bay  Këlcyra  Ksamil  Llogara  Miscellaneous  Lake Ohrid  Orikum  People  Tirana-Pogradec by Train  Lake Prespa  Saranda  Blue Eye  Tepelena  Tirana  Tirana in Colors  Tomorri National Park  Vlora  Voskopoja      [06.01.2009 | © AYHA 2005 | webmaster@ayha.org | Disclaimer]
