KRUJA

-
Now i'm going to write about an other city with a full history and traditions.This city is Kruja.Like the most of the cities in Albania Kruja has a castle.Gjergj Kastriot Skenderbeu is Albanian National Hero who was born in Kruja.He helped the Albanian weak army to defend the ottomans for 25 years.The Kruja Castle and the city of Kruja was protected by SKENDERBEU army from the ottomans.He also collaborated with other princes and comandants to fight the ottomans.Krujë was inhabited by the ancient Ilyrian tribe of the Albania. In 1190 Krujë became the capital of the first Autonomus Albanian state in the middle ages, the Principality of Arbër. Later it was the capital of the Kingdom of Albania, while in the early 15th century Krujë was conquered by the Ottoman empire, but then recaptured in 1443 by Skanderbeg, leader of the League of Lezhë, who successfully defended it against three Ottoman sieges until his death in 1468.So Kruja city holds a very important history.The Castle of Kruja is very old and now is reconstructed.Kruja now is a touristic city .
Kruja isn't an expensive city.You can go there by car or bus.Kruja has been visited too much in 2017.Here is a drone view of Kruja:
On the next blog im going to show you another city named Shkodër.
