Kruja and the Skanderbeg Museum – the heart of Albanian history

The museum dedicated to George Kastrioti Skanderbeg (Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, 1405-1468) is located in the city of Kruja and is one of Albania's most popular attractions. It was opened in 1982 next to the old castle and was designed by Pranvera Hoxha, daughter of former dictator Enver Hoxha. Enver Hoxha did not appear at the opening as he did not fully approve of the museum's architecture.
