kruja was the site from which the greatest albanian warlord in history - Skenderbej - held off the turkish onslaught in the 15th century, thus - according to albanians - saving european civilization. it's north of tirana, your taxi driver can help you find a van going up there, and if you find a local who speaks english, they just might pay your fare for you (that's albanian hospitality).
