Nicholas, on the spot where on 1468 was buried Gjergj Kastrioti – Scanderbeg. On 1478 the ottomans occupied Lezha and destroyed the grave of Scanderbeg, taking his bones to use as totems of infallibility. The Actual Memorial was built on 1981. Inside it there is the bust of Scanderbeg built by Odise Paskali. Over the marble plate there are bronze copies of the sword and spade of Scanderbeg. Inside the castle there are a series of shields symbolizing each a battle of Scanderbeg.
