Kruja

Kruja rises 560 m above sea level on the slopes of Scanderbeg mountain.

The town of Kruja is located 32 km in the Northwest of Tirana and 20 minutes by car from the international Airport of Rinas. It provides to visitors the great view of majestic landscape and a rich collection of historical and cultural objects. The most important is the castle of Kruja which was built during the 5th and 6th centuries. The surrounding walls are reinforced by nine towers which served as an observation and signaling post during the Ottoman attack. Despite the wars and the time there can still be found the remains of a few houses.
