Kruja, Albania, about 30 kilometres from the capital, Tirana. It is known as Skanderbeg's birth place and and for its bazaar in Ottoman style. There is not very much left of the craftsmanship traditions of the past, nevertheless its charm remains. Photos by Marjola Rukaj [November 2010]

Despite the loss of traditions, unregulated urban growth and rampant globalisation, it continues to survive in its true spirit
