Kruja Castle
Krujë Castle is one of the most important historical monuments in Albania. Located on a hilltop in the city of Krujë, it dates back to the 5th century. The castle became famous in the 15th century as the center of resistance led by Skanderbeg against the Ottoman Empire. Inside the castle, you can visit the Skanderbeg Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, and a traditional bazaar with local crafts. The castle offers stunning panoramic views and is a popular cultural and historical destination.
Kruja Bazaar
The Bazaar of Krujë, also known as the Old Bazaar, is a charming cobblestone market located just outside the entrance of Krujë Castle. It dates back to the Ottoman period and is one of the oldest and most authentic bazaars in Albania. Here, you can find a variety of traditional Albanian handicrafts, including handwoven rugs, antiques, copperware, silver jewelry, wood-carved items, traditional clothing, and souvenirs.
