VAS DMC: Kruja

Kruja Albania

Kruje, also known as Kruja in English, is a city in Albania just north of Tirana. Kruje was the de facto capital of Skanderbeg. Due to its elevated position, it was possible to communicate from there to other castles of the country using light/fire signals. Krujë itself is a small city located approximately 31 km (20 miles) north of the capital city of Tirana and is a place rich in history. While the region has been populated since the 3rd century B.C., it was also home to the eponymous Alban tribe as well as Gjergj Skanderbeg, the national hero of Albania. Kruja has a long list of attractions to offer tourists from the ancient castle nestled in the craggy rocks, two museums, stunning views, a nearby national park, sacred temples, natural springs, the ancient city ruins of Albanopolis, and the old bazaar.
