1415 wurde Kruja durch die von Sultan Mehmed I. geführten osmanischen Truppen erobert.
In der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts eroberte Skanderbeg mit seiner Liga von Lezha die Stadt zurück und verteidigte von der Festung aus Albanien mehrere Jahrzehnte gegen die vordringenden Osmanen. Diese griffen die Burg danach wiederholt an, so zum Beispiel bei der monatelangen, aber erfolglosen Ersten Belagerung im Jahr 1450. Erst nach dem Tod von Skanderbeg konnten die Türken 1478 Kruja und ganz Albanien vollständig besetzen und mehr als 400 Jahre beherrschen. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde die Basar-Moschee errichtet, die noch heute steht.

Debar is a city located in western Macedonia over an artificial water reservoir, near the border with Albania. The Albanians constitute an ethnic majority in this city of 74%.
During the Ottoman-Alban Wars of 1443-1479, the Debar region was an area of constant conflict between Turks and Albanians led by Skanderbeg. Near Debaru, two major battles took place in 1444 and 1446, ending with the defeat of the Ottoman army.

Krujë Castle is located in the north central Albanian city of Krujë. It was famously ruled by the Albanian feudal lord Skanderbeg following his 1443 rebellion against the Ottoman Empire.
We spent 1 night here, staying in a boutique hotel within the castle grounds.
Krujë fortress was built in the 5th or 6th century. It the center of Skanderbeg's rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. After his rebellion in 1443 the fortress withstood three massive sieges from the Turks respectively in 1450, 1466 and 1467 with garrisons usually no larger than 2,000-3,000 men under Skanderbeg's command. Mehmed II "The Conqueror" himself could not break the fortress' small defenses until 1478, 10 years after the death of Skanderbeg.

Skanderbeg-Denkmal
Gjergj Kastrioti, so sein richtiger Name, war ein albanischer Fürst und Nationalheld Albaniens, der das Land bis zu seinem natürlichen Tod ungeschlagen rund 20 Jahre gegen die Osmanen verteidigte und diesen den Zugang zur Adria versperrte. Er wurde nach dem damals verwendeten julianischen Kalender am 6. Mai 1405 in Dibra-Mat im Fürstentum Kastrioti (heute Albanien) geboren und verstarb mit 62 Jahren am 17. Januar 1468 in Alessio in Albanien.

Początki Krui sięgają III w. p.n.e. Pierwsze wzmianki o niej pochodzą z IX wieku n.e. W 1396 r. została podbita przez Imperium Osmańskie. W 1433 roku Skanderbeg odbił miasto z rąk Turków i uczynił je swoją siedzibą. Na wzgórzu widoczne są ruiny zamku Skanderbega oraz Muzeum. W 1928 odbyła się tutaj koronacja Ahmeda Zogu na króla Albanii.

Mirë se na erdhët Çivit.
Civita, ideale ingresso sud del Parco del Pollino, è uno scenografico borgo al culmine di un altopiano a picco sulle strettissime gole del fiume Raganello: già il primo colpo d’occhio che lo sperone roccioso offre a chi arriva dalla statale è uno dei più begli scenari della Calabria.
Cominciando con qualche cenno storico, uno degli aspetti più peculiari è l’insediamento degli Albanesi intorno al 1468 sul preesistente sito medioevale "Castrum Sancti Salvatoris”, distrutto da un terremoto nel 1456.
Le tradizioni albanesi sono tuttora ben vive a Civita e si manifestano nell’arco dell’anno in ricorrenze a sfondo religioso e storico. Oltre a una serie di rituali della Settimana Santa, la festa più importante è quella del Martedì di Pasqua, denominata “Vallja”, una lunga serie di danze in costume eseguite con canti corali alle quali prende parte l’intera popolazione, con partecipazione di comunità albanesi sparse un po’ in tutta l’Italia Meridionale. È anche l’occasione per celebrare le vittorie dell’eroe nazionale albanese Giorgio Kastriota Skanderbeg contro i Turchi. Un’altra consuetudine è quella dei falò accesi nei vari rioni civitesi nei primi tre giorni di maggio, davanti ai quali vengono intonati i “vjershë”, canti tradizionali spontanei.
Il luogo di culto, anch’esso integrato nella tradizione albanese, è la basilica medioevale, più volte rimaneggiata, di Santa Maria Assunta: in essa si officia la messa secondo il rito greco-bizantino, che può durare tra le due e le quattro ore a seconda della solennità.
La posizione di Civita è teatrale, con le abitazioni che digradano da un pendio boscoso in un agglomerato che va assottigliandosi in un contrafforte roccioso che si protende a picco sulla piana, nella quale scorrono i meandri del Raganello nell’ultima parte del suo percorso dopo essere uscito dalle spettacolari gole. Proprio da una terrazza naturale prospiciente l’edificio nel quale pernottiamo si ha una magnifica veduta dall’alto sul canyon scavato dal fiume in milioni di anni; da qui parte un sentierino a tornanti ben transennato che porta al livello delle acque. Al di sopra della fenditura, incombe la parete verticale della Timpa del Demanio (m.855), quasi 500 metri di dislivello dalla base alla sommità, più della parete della Cima Grande di Lavaredo (timpa è il termine locale che definisce gli impervi massicci del Parco del Pollino).
Piccolo, ma interessante e gestito con amorevole cura, è il Museo Etnico Arbëresh, l’ingresso al quale è gratuito (è comunque gradita un’offerta per il mantenimento). Nelle sue sale spiccano i costumi tradizionali, un’esauriente oggettistica del mondo domestico passato, dell’artigianato e del mondo agro-pastorale, nonché belle collezioni fotografiche su Civita e l’area circostante. È anche sede della biblioteca arbëresh e redazione del periodico bilingue Katundi Ynë.
The last one. That’s all folks ! Thank you.
