Activity itinerary

Kruja Castle

Kruja fortress is best known in the fifteenth century when our national hero Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg had his headquarters in the years of resistance to the Ottoman conquest. It has an elliptical shape and a circumference of 804 m, occupies a surface of 2.5 ha of land, and is built on a rocky hill. Archaeological excavations of 1978 prove that the hill has been inhabited since the 3rd century BC while the fortress was built around V-VI century AD. Inside the fortress, we will visit the Skanderbeg & Ethnographic Museum and the Dollma Masjid.
Old Bazaar (Pazari i Vjeter)

We will go through the bazaar of Kruja, lying on both sides of a cobblestone road leading all the way to the fortress. The local calls it Derexhiku Bazaar. The bazaar has been functional since the Scanderbeg Times, on XV century when its shops were up to the entrance of the fortress. Nowadays you will find all the locals products, like wool hand made carpets, traditional clothes, tools, etc.
