The Castle of Scanderbeg, Kruje,Albania By Armand Rroshi Photography
The national museum GJ. K. Scanderbeg has been inaugurated on 1 November 1982, build in Kruja castle on the left side of its entrance. The architect of the museum are Pranvera Hoxha and Pirro Vaso.
The museum is build in Kruja because it was the center of the Albanian epopee in XV century in the war against the ottoman and its name becomes known in all Europe. Three sieges (1450, 1466, 1467) failed and the ottoman conquered the castle only in year 1478.
The building characterizes a memorial. In the external architectural choice are distinguished two main parts, the outstretching horizontal part with the main big rooms and the part with vertical accent, regarded as the north Albanian towers. The internal spaces are designed un a way that the ambiences interweaved by creating an uninterrupted space as is even the history presented in this museum. History, architecture and art linked as one. There are used historic architectonic elements like the heavy pillars and stone arches. Art compositions, stone and wood engravings, wrought iron as well as maps, graphics, glass paintings have value of historic auxiliary material.
The Skanderbeg Museum is in Krujë, Albania. It honors Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg (1405--1466), a national hero of Albania. The museum is located inside Krujë Castle and the restored bazaar. The citadel includes a restored house from the Ottoman era that is now the Ethnographic Museum.
Former home of Albanian author Kadare becomes a museum | AFP
Ismail Kadare draws the curtain to bring a shaft of light into the Tirana apartment where he wrote furiously during the dark days of communism -- a space visitors can now explore first-hand after his former home was turned into a museum. During that time, the windows were covered with heavy drapes to shield their home from the paranoid eye of the communist regime led by former dictator Enver Hoxha, who painfully isolated Albania during his 40-year-reign.

Berat - 2400 year old museum
This 2,413 years-old city, the pride of Albanian architecture which is under the protection of UNESCO, is located 120 km from Tirana. The city forms a wonderful combination of eastern and western cultures, costumes, traditions and outlook. Berat is a treasure-trove of Albanian history, culture and a testament to the country’s tradition of religious harmony.
The city’s life began in the 6th-5th century B.C. as an Illyrian settlement. Later, in the 3rd century B.C., it was turned into a castle city known as Antipatrea. The castle expanded afterwards, particularly during the feudal dominion of the Muzakaj family. Inside the castle, they built churches with valuable frescos and icons, and also a calligraphy school. Uniquely today, residents still live inside of the castle walls. The three major neighborhoods of the old city are Mangalemi, Gorica, and Kala, where the castle itself is located.
In Mangalemi, below the castle, you can see the famous view of the façades of the houses, with windows that seem to stand above each other. In general, a traditional house has two floors, where the second is prominent and has many cambered windows and wood carvings. With its houses built along the steep hill, the view of Mangalemi is the reason that another name for Berat is the City of the Floating Windows.
Across the Osum River lies the Gorica neighborhood, whose houses face those of Mangalemi. The arched bridge of Gorica, built in 1780, is a beautiful architectural monument constructed to link Gorica with Mangelemi.
The ensemble of the Byzantine churches in the castle of Berat is extraordinary. At the foot of the castle, there is the Byzantine Church of Shën Mëhilli, while the 13th century Church of Shën Maria e Vllahernës, the Church of Shën Triadha (The Holy Trinity), and the post-Byzantine monumental Cathedral of Shën Maria are located within the castle.
The Cathedral of Shën Mëria houses a museum of works by the famous iconographers of the 16th century: Onufri, and his son, Nikolla. There are over 100 icons on display and they also include works of other artists such as Joan Çetiri, Onufër Qiprioti, and many anonymous painters.
You also can visit the Monastery of Shën Spiridhoni in Gorica. In 1417, the Ottomans occupied Berat and this conquest left its mark with the building of monuments to the Islamic faith, such as the Xhamia e Kuqe (Red Mosque) inside the castle, the Xhamia e Plumbit (1555), Xhamia Mbret (16th century), and the Xhamia e Beqarëve (1872). Other sites worth visiting are the Ethnographic Museum, situated inside an 18th century çardak building, and the Edward Lear Gallery of Art, a well-known English painter who painted much of Berat and Albania. In addition Berat is known for its traditional dishes. It is worth tasting specialties such as pula me përshesh and çorba e Tomorrit in the local restaurants.

Albania - Gjirokastra - miasto tysiąca schodów -cz. III
Zapraszam na spacer po urokliwym albańskim mieście posiadającym niezwykłą starówkę i ulice z których praktycznie każda jest stroma. Dziękuję Kochani za liczne odwiedziny i serdeczne komentarze.
Gjirokastra- miasto-muzeum , miasto białych dachów lub tysiąca schodów, które w XIII wieku rozrosło się na wzgórzu Mali i Gjerë wokół zamku. Zawdzięcza to między innymi kamiennym domkom starówki, które są pokryte szarymi łupkami. Liczne uliczki są bardzo strome, dlatego też Gjirokastra zwana jest Miastem Tysiąca Schodów. W 2005 roku miasto zostało wpisane na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO. Gjirokastra jest rodzinnym miastem najbardziej znanego na świecie pisarza albańskiego – Ismaila Kadare . Urodził się tutaj również Enver Hodża, przywódca komunistycznej Albanii w latach 1944-85
Niezwykłej urody starówka odznacza się charakterystyczną zabudową. Absolutnie fascynujące i pełne magii miejsce, gdzie wszystko zdaje się być wbrew zasadom logiki. Urokowi miasta dodają strome, ciasne, kamienne uliczki, małe knajpki i sklepiki miejscowych rzemieślników oraz szare dachy domów, wykonane z łupków skalnych..
The Fascinating Ethnographic House, Berat, Albania
Berat is called the town of 1000 windows because of the white Ottoman houses climbing up the hills. The Mangalem Quarter is the area to both stay and visit, the oldest section of Berat and a former Slav settlement.
The Ethnographic House is a traditional Berat House dating from the 18th century that was once built for the wealthy who lived in town on the rent of their farms and estates. An Albanian guide led the group through while Florian (our guide) translated. The displays of clothing (some embroidered with silver and gold), jewelry, utensils and vats to make wine and family living quarters was really engrossing and kept our interest. It certainly was good to be rich in those days...and these days...

Gjirokastër is a city in southern Albania, on a valley between the Gjerë mountains and the Drino, at 300 metres above sea level. Its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, described as a rare example of a well-preserved Ottoman town, built by farmers of large estate. The city is overlooked by Gjirokastër Fortress, where the Gjirokastër National Folklore Festival is held every five years. It is the birthplace of former Albanian communist leader Enver Hoxha and notable writer Ismail Kadare.
The city appears in the historical record dating back in 1336 by its Greek name, Αργυρόκαστρο - Argyrokastro, as part of the Byzantine Empire. It became part of the Orthodox Christian diocese of Dryinoupolis and Argyrokastro after the destruction of nearby Adrianoupolis. Gjirokastër later was contested between the Despotate of Epirus and the Albanian clan of John Zenevisi before falling under Ottoman rule for the next five centuries (1417–1913). Throughout the Ottoman era Gjirokastër was officially known in Ottoman Turkish as Ergiri and also Ergiri Kasrı.During the Ottoman period conversions to Islam and an influx of Muslim converts from the surrounding countryside made Gjirokastër go from being an overwhelmingly Christian city in the 16th century into one with a large Muslim population by the early 19th century. Gjirokastër also became a major religious centre for Bektashi Sufism. Taken by the Hellenic Army during the Balkan Wars of 1912–3 on account of its large Greek population, it was eventually incorporated into the newly independent state of Albania in 1913. This proved highly unpopular with the local Greek population, who rebelled; after several months of guerrilla warfare, the short-lived Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus was established in 1914 with Gjirokastër as its capital. It was definitively awarded to Albania in 1921. In more recent years, the city witnessed anti-government protests that lead to the Albanian civil war of 1997.
Along with Muslim and Orthodox Albanians, the city is also home to a substantial Greek minority.The city together with Sarandë, is considered one of the centers of the Greek community in Albania, and there is a consulate of Greece.

Εκτοπίστηκαν τα παραδοσιακά επαγγέλματα.Έφυγαν και οι άνθρωποι τεχνίτες, δημιουργοί από τη ζωή παίρνοντας μαζί τους την ομορφιά αυτή.Σήμερα έμειναν λίγοι ως ζώσα μνήμη της παρελθούσης ζωής μόνοι τους ως μνημεία. Μόνοι στον τόπο, τον χώρο και τον χρόνο.Μοναδικοί και γι' αυτό μας γοητεύουν.Σήμερα τα αντικείμενα που ήταν συνδεδεμένα με τη ζωή παρουσιάζονται στο Μουσείο για να διαφυλάξουν την μνήμη, να αποκαλύψουν και αναδομήσουν την αλήθεια ούτως ώστε ο σύγχρονος άνθρωπος να μπορέσει να σκεφθεί, να αναρωτηθεί για τις παλιές αξίες που έχει απεμπολήσει και να επαναπροσδιορίσει τον χώρο και τον χρόνο του.
