The Krujë Caste hold many famous paintings and sculptures as well as the sword of Skanderbeg.
In addition to being an artistic and historical monument, the castle has also inspired the development of new technology in Albania. The Krujë Castle is a huge tourist hotspot and the startup teams in Albania are working to develop a system of classifying the important historical monuments in Albania. They are trying to utilize QR codes to make it easier for tourists to scan various parts of monuments and read a little more about the historical context of each monument.
Although the project is still in the early developmental stages, it is an idea that will hopefully fuel tourism in Albania even more. When I went visited the castle, I found that it had been significantly reconstructed and there was a lot more information presented to visitors for each piece inside the museum. This was very helpful because it helped me gain a better understanding of Albanian history. Considering the fact that I left Albania when I was very young, it was hard for me to read the explanations in Albanian for each piece in the museum and as a result my parents had to explain it to me. With the development of the QR code project, the descriptions of the monuments and pieces of the museum would be written in English as well which is an international language and would significantly facilitate tourism and understanding of Albanian history.
