The Grave of Skanderbeg, National memorial building in Lezhë, Albania.
The Skanderbeg Memorial stands within the reconstructed Church of Saint Nicholas, featuring exhibits about the medieval military commander and his achievements.
The memorial site transformed from a medieval church to an Ottoman mosque named Selimiye, and finally became a mausoleum dedicated to Skanderbeg in 1981.
The memorial complex serves as a central location for national ceremonies and educational programs that examine Albanian resistance against foreign occupation.
Visitors can access the memorial museum daily, which displays historical artifacts, military equipment, and detailed information panels in multiple languages.
Ottoman soldiers collected fragments from Skanderbeg's burial site, converting them into talismans with the belief they would gain his military prowess.
