Kruja, ancient Albanian capital city

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to Kruja, a town not so far from Tirana. It has a castle from Middle Age period and a Museum on the national Albanian hero, George Kastriot Scanderbeg. In the 15th century, he was able to stop the Ottomans for few decades, unifying different princedoms under his leadership. His statue on a horse is found in the main square of Tirana. In Rome, in Albania square, there is another one too. It is recognizable for his typical helmet: on the top there is a sculpture of a wild goat head (i think chamois-camoscio) with 2 horns. It comes from Greek mithology, simbolizing goddess Artemis.
From the pictures you can see an old tower and the newly renovated castle. Then there is a nice bazaar, with some souvenir shops. You can find traditional handicraft, such as carpets, woolen shoes and hats, carved olive tree wooden baskets, traditional man and woman costumes, etc.
In the last picture you can see the seaside: Kruja is 600 meters above sea level and we were lucky to have a clear sky and have a far glimpse of the sea.
