Krujë's Unmissable Treasures
Krujë serves as a pivotal site of Albanian history, centered around its 5th-century castle which withstood three major Ottoman sieges. This collection highlights the city's strategic defensive structures, the museum dedicated to national hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, and an 18th-century ethnographic residence.
