“Up until the past weekend, the count stood at 5,000 visitors. Alongside the local attendees, a notable portion consisted of foreigners who, even amidst November days, demonstrated a keen interest in acquainting themselves with the history of the Albanian people, particularly our national hero, George Castriot Scanderbeg,” remarked Hafizi.

On November 1st, the museum “George Castriot Scanderbeg” in Krujë celebrated its 41st anniversary.”
