Kruja
Kruja is a medieval town near Tirana. 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.
