Kruja Castle
Kruja Castle was built in the 5th and 6th centuries A.D. The highest and most well-defended part of the fortress is a clock tower.
Kruja was the most important Balkan towns during the 15th century. It successfully withstood at least three major sieges by the Ottoman Empire.
The hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu had a base of operations there.
The Albanians consider him a symbol of resistance as well as a savior.

Bazaar
This old bazaar was restored in 2015 and now looks better than ever.
It's also one of the country's best places for souvenir shopping and has antique gems and quality traditional wares, including beautifully embroidered tablecloths, copper coffee pots, and plates, although there is a growing amount of tourist tat as well.
The bazaar stretches through a tangle of streets, but a good place to start exploring is along Pazari Vjetër.

National Ethnographic Museum
It is located near Scanderbeg’s museum. It resides in one of the characteristic dwelling houses of Kruja, this one dating back to 1764.
Within, you can find 16 rooms, each exhibiting original historic ceramics, wood, cotton, wool, silk, stone as well as folk dresses.
Together, these give you a clear picture of the history of the district as you become acquainted with its traditions and customs.
