Skanderbeg in Leije

Skanderbeg is Albania's national hero.  He rescued them from the Ottoman Empire on multiple occasions.

                                         
Legend says that this sword could slice through a cow with one single blow!



Each of these shields represents a battle that Skanderbeg won.
