Lezhë, Historic municipality in western Albania
The municipality spreads across the coastal plains and includes mountains, rivers, and access to the Adriatic Sea through Shëngjin Harbor.
The League of Lezhë gathered Albanian lords in 1444 under Skanderbeg's leadership to establish a military alliance against Ottoman forces.
The city maintains Catholic and Muslim religious sites, reflecting the mixed religious demographics of northern Albania with 72 percent Catholic inhabitants.
The central train station connects travelers to major Albanian cities including Durrës and Shkodër, with regular bus services to Montenegro.
Archaeological findings reveal continuous habitation for 2,400 years, with preserved fortification walls dating back to the 4th century BC.
