[Albania] Kruja Castle

Kruja Castle in Albania 🇦🇱 A mysterious country that was closed to the outside world until 1990. It is accessible by bus from the capital Tirana in just under an hour. The road leading to Kruja Castle is paved with stone, and the Old Bazaar on both sides is a must-see. There are colorful carpets, felt goods, traditional embroidery and antique shops, etc. The cuteness and atmosphere of the town will get you really excited. Prices are generally low in Albania, but here you should think of the prices as being somewhat touristy. Inside the castle is the Skanderbeg Museum, which contains records of Albania's history and the battles with the Ottoman Empire. You can get a panoramic view of the town from the terrace. (7th photo) If you have 2-3 hours, you can enjoy a stroll around the Old Bazaar and the castle, so be sure to include it in your itinerary. #Albania #Europe #Albania #Kruja #KrujaCastle #CentralEurope #SoloTravel #SoloTrip

Castle of Kruja

#tripaway Rich in history and tradition, Kruja is home of the patriots and the epicenter of Albania’s independence from the Ottoman Empire. It was here that Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, Albania’s greatest national hero, defended the country from the invasion of the Ottomans. The National Museum dedicated to the hero is housed in the famous Kruja Castle and shows both the legendary hero’s history and the traditional way of life of the city’s population. The city’s famous bazaar serves as a bridge between this glorious past and the present, offering a rich array of traditional products made from local artisans. Home to one of the spiritual centers of the country, that of Sarisalltik, Kruja is a crucial destination for every local and visitor! #visitalbania#beautifulalbania #tripaway
