Castle of Kruja
The Krujë Castle is a castle in the city of Krujë, Albania and the center of Skanderbeg’s resistance against the Ottoman Empire. During the Albanian Revolt of 1432-1436 the city was unsuccessfully besieged by Andrea Thopia and Ottoman rule was restored. After Skanderbeg’s resistance in 1443 the castle withstood three massive sieges from the Turks respectively in 1450, 1466 and 1467 with garrisons usually no larger than 2,000-3,000 men under Skanderbeg’s command.
