Albania, Castle in Lezhe Zamek w Leze
Lezha zamieszkała jest od czasów illyryjskich, mniej więcej od 8 w. p.n.e. Oficjalnie jednak miasto założone zostało na początku IV w. p.n.e. jako Lissos – nazwa pochodziła od illyryjskiej nazwy Lisi. W III w. p.n.e. miasto zdobyli Macedończycy, a później nadeszła era Rzymian. Cały czas miasto miało ważną pozycję ze względu na swoje usadowienie niedaleko ważnego portu na Adriatyku.
Najważniejsze czasy dla Lezhy nadeszły jednak w średniowieczu. Pod koniec XIV w. władzę nad miastem przejęli Wenecjanie. To tu w 1444 r. Skanderberg zawiązał albańską Ligę z Lezhy, organizację walczącą z Turkami – wtedy wciąż Lezha była pod panowaniem weneckim. Co jeszcze ważniejsze dla historii i Albańczyków – to właśnie tutaj Skanderberg został pochowany – w ówczesnej katedrze św.Mikołaja, przerobionej potem na meczet przez Turków. Skanderberg do końca życia obronił bowiem swoje terytoria przed Osmanami, dopiero po jego śmierci Turcy zdołali zniszczyć opór. Gdy znaleźli grób Skanderberga w Lezhe, zniszczyli go, a z kości robili sobie amulety, wierząc, że przejmą dzięki temu jego męstwo. Meczet, wybudowany przez Turków w miejscu katedry, został zniszczony (razem ze wszystkimi innymi w mieście) przez komunistyczne władze Albanii po II wojnie światowej. W 1981 r. na jego ruinach otwarto mauzoleum Skanderberga, dziś najbardziej chyba przyciągające turystów miejsce w mieście.
