Travel tip to Albania - a visit to historical Kruj Travel tip to Albania - a visit to historical Kruja! This town, especially the old fortress of it, the Kalaja e Krujë, played an important role in medieval history of Albania. The Castle of Kruja was the center of Skanderbeg's rebellion against the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century.Kruja Fortress has become a popular tourism destination, and for a reason – it's a beautifully restaured castle with museums, a mosque, an old watchtower, a Turkish bath, several restaurants, hotels and guesthouses. Furthermore, there are picturesque alleys and stunning views all the way to the Adriatic Sea and over Tirana.Below the fortress itself is the Old Town of Kruja, with a famous bazaar area. A walk along the narrow, cobbled bazaar street lined with small shops selling colourful carpets, handicrafts antiques and ceramics is like a jump back in time.#finnsaway #nomadlife #travelforlife #travelinspiration #visitalbania #krujacastle
