Click Images to enlarge
Set against a backdrop of the almost vertical limestone wall of the Kruja mountains, the small town of Kruja is known by many as the ‘Balcony of the Adriatic’. Kruja's mountain citadel affords magnificent views of the surrounding region and across the coastal plains to the sea.Built on as isolated spur of limestone at a height of 548m, Skanderbeg’s castle is the main place of interest in the town. Within its grounds are two interesting museums. Although small, Kruja Bazaar is also worth exploring with its single street of quaint shops which have undergone extensive restoration. The castle area has a couple of restaurants and provides an ideal place to relax and take in the wonderful views.
