Et'hem Bej Mosque, located inSkanderbeg Squarein the center of Tirana, the capital of Albania, is one of the city's representative historical and religious buildings. The mosque's architectural style blends features from the Ottoman period, with a main square prayer hall, a hemispherical dome on top, and a portico with arcades and a slender minaret on the north side. Et'hem Bej Mosque's striking features are the frescoes on its interior and portico, which depict natural landscapes such as trees, waterfalls, and bridges, a rarity in Islamic art. These frescoes showcase the style of Persian miniatures, reflecting the creative philosophy of artists at the time who expressed the beauty of nature while adhering to religious prohibitions. Today, Et'hem Bej Mosque is open to visitors. Visitors must enter during non-prayer times and remove their shoes as a sign of respect. The mosque and the Tirana Clock Tower together form the historical center of the city, attracting numerous visitors who come to admire its unique architectural aesthetics and profound cultural heritage.Tirana · 30.5 km from Durres

Castle of Kruja

5.0/5

Kruje Castle is located in central Albania and was the core stronghold of the national hero Skanderbeg's resistance against the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. It can be reached by car from the capital, Tirana, or by bus which departs every hour.   The must-visit Skanderbeg Museum in the castle recreates the epic battle with a three-dimensional sand table and weapons displays. The top-floor observation deck overlooks the entire Kruje Valley. On the east side, there is a folk museum that was transformed from a 15th-century caravan station, displaying traditional looms and bronze crafts. The weekly open-air market at the foot of the castle still continues the trade tradition of the Ottoman era, and handmade wool blankets and pottery are worth buying.   It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes to climb the gravel slope and prepare plenty of drinking water in summer. In winter, some outdoor areas may be temporarily closed due to snow. It is recommended to check the local tourism bureau's homepage for updates before traveling. Parking spaces are limited, so it is recommended to arrive before 10 am during peak season.Kruje · 34.7 km from Durres

Beautiful mall especially when you visit at night where the lighting both inner and outer shines on the place. There is beautiful clock tower behind too. Do see the frescoes inside.

This castle is also very historical. It has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is located on the seashore. It is an important coastal defense facility. Now the castle is a historical museum, which contains many documents related to the castle and local history. It is worth visiting.
