Today, the 557th anniversary of the death of the national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti

Today, we commemorate the 557th anniversary of the death of the National Hero, Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, who passed away on January 17, 1468 in Lezha.

This date is a symbol of his dedicated fight for freedom and independence, as well as of the great sacrifices made to protect Albanian lands against the Ottoman invaders.

Born in 1403, Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg was a prominent figure in Albanian history. His father was Gjon Kastrioti, leader of Kruja and Mirdita, and his mother was Vojsava.

He received education and military training at the Ottoman court, where he was sent as a hostage in 1415 and again in 1423, a period that provided him with deep military and diplomatic knowledge.

After returning to his homeland, he rose to become the leader of the Albanians, creating a broad alliance that opposed the Ottoman advance in the Balkans. Skanderbeg is an unforgettable name in national history, representing the courage and unyielding resistance for the freedom and dignity of the Albanians.
