Kruje's Skanderbeg Monument shows Albania's national hero on horseback, sword raised, in the town most closely tied to his resistance against the Ottomans. The statue was erected in 1959 and later declared a national cultural monument.
It is a quick stop rather than a long visit, but it belongs naturally with Kruje Castle, the Skanderbeg Museum, and the old bazaar. The monument helps set the tone for a town where Skanderbeg's story is everywhere.
