Ethnographic Museum of Kruja

The Ethnographic Museum of Kruja offers a unique tour of the ways of life and customs of the Albanian house over the centuries. The structure is unique in its kind throughout the Balkans, inspired by the Albanian and Ottoman architectural style. The construction of the house was officially dated to 1764 and was adapted as a museum in 1989. The three floors of the house-museum exhibit different aspects of the life of a wealthy Albanian family during Ottoman rule. Visitors can learn about traditional but effective systems built to self-supply the home and about organization based on the social and gender status of family environments.

Kruja Castle

Krujë Castle has proudly stood on top of a rocky cliff, high above its city, for the last fifteen centuries. It has witnessed the long turbulent history of this place, which was once the centre of Arbëria (Albania’s ancient name). At a time when the Ottoman Empire ruled over a large swathe of Europe, including Constantinople and the Balkans, this castle remained undefeated for thirty-five years, thanks to Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, the legendary Albanian hero who defended its walls until his death.
