Erix, according to tradition Scanderbeg was buried there, in the citadel of Saint Nicholas, which later on was used as a mosque too (as seen on Woodville's painting). Today the tomb looks like this:

There is still a mystery whether the tomb contains his remains !

Nevertheless, people across the world are very welcome to visit the only known tomb of such a great medieval leader as well as defender of Europe.

This is one of many turist agencies in Albania that can arrange travels to this historic site in the city of Lezha:

Description

Thomas Phillips' iconic portrait of Lord Byron depicts the renowned poet and society figure dressed in a sumptuous traditional Albanian costume. He wears an oriental-style, red velvet jacket and headdress, with a velvet cloak draped across his left arm. Byron bought the costume in the region of Epirus (part of modern Greece and Albania) in 1809, while on a Grand Tour across southern Europe with his great friend, the politician John Cam Hobhouse (1786-1869). Byron sat for this painting in 1813, at the age of 25, and evidently had some influence over its appearance. He was particularly sensitive to full-length representations of himself as he had suffered from a lame foot since childhood and had a noticeable limp. He also asked Phillips to repaint his nose in a more flattering fashion. The translucent paleness of his skin contrasts with the dark velvet of his costume inspiring Sir Walter Scott to liken the portrait to a beautiful alabaster lamp, lit from within. The portrait was exhibited to great popular acclaim at the Royal Academy in 1814. It was later bought by Lady Judith Noel, Byron's mother-in-law, and apparently hung at Kirkby Hall, her residence in Kirkby Mallory, Leicestershire.

Thomas Phillips was born in Dudley, Warwickshire, and, at a young age, took up an apprenticeship with a stained glass painter. In 1790 he moved to London and studied at the Royal Academy, while also working as a studio assistant to Sir Benjamin West. He exhibited work at the Academy between 1794 and 1844 and his portrait subjects included other leading writers of the period, such as Sir Walter Scott, George Crabbe and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In 1808 he was elected a Royal Academician and, in 1825, succeeded Henry Fuseli as Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy. Phillips was a prolific artist, as demonstrated by the 859 portraits listed in his sitters' notebook (preserved at the National Portrait Gallery, London), of which the whereabouts of about 300 are now known.

@Trojan

Kam vërjetje në lidhje me këto postime qe i ke bërë me fustanellen !
Së pari më habitë se si se e poston një foto me këtë titull '' Philippoteaux, Pierre - Grece er Turqie'' dhe me pastaj përsëri një tjetër postim me tjetër titull ''A.G. Decamps - Battle scene between Greeks and a Turk'' duke e parë që nga faqja e parë që neve nuk postojme foto që ka të bëjë me ate nacionalitet FALLCO që janë edhe ato foto komplet FALLCO !!

Do më pyesish pse janë , te tregoj unë disa shembuj në lidhje me postime e juaja :

Ke sita/linku ku i merrë ti fotot shkruan keshtu : ''ALEXANDRE GABRIEL DECAMPS (1803-1860)
Various Greek themes : http://www.athenscitymuseum.gr/collecti ... 2&str=lith
lithography, 16 x 23 cm'' , kurse origjinali që e kemi postuar shkruan ndryshe ''Albanian duel'': http://www.arberiaonline.com/viewtopic. ... &start=105 , që të bindesh se postimi ynë është origjinal me numer të porosisë dhe me emër të muzeut si dhe me shkrimin e authorit ja edhe linkun : http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1427 ... nian-duel/

Pastaj për King Otto që edhe ti e ke postuar edhe pse ishte origjinali ne faqet e kaluara , shkruan keshtu : '' King Otto in Greek attire''
ja edhe linkun e faqes qe ti e njef http://www.athenscitymuseum.gr/collecti ... 2&str=lith

Vazhdojme me fallsifikime te tyre , njëra nga të shumtat është kjo këtu ''Turkalbaner'sattire'' që na quan TurkoShqiptarë , asgje e re për ne nga JEVGJITET http://www.athenscitymuseum.gr/collecti ... atercolour

As kësi shqiptari nëpër foto kurrë skam parë ne postimi tënd që ke bërë te faqja e kaluar megjithse nuk shkruan që është http://www.athenscitymuseum.gr/collecti ... atercolour

Pra kjo faqe është përplot fallsfikime dhe propozoj që ato foto të hidhen ne KOSH ?
Nuk është mirë për forumin dhe nuk është mirë për djemt që kanë humb sa kohe për këtë faqe te mrekulleshme që e bëmë së bashku , dhe më pastaj mund të vie nje JEVGJ të na thotë na ''vodhet'' (sipas tradites )


Shpresoj se pa qëllim të keq i ke postuar .

Pike se pari ju pershendes te gjithve dhe gezohem qe ne kete forum ka shipe qe kan interesim per fustanellen ton.

Fatkeqsisht ka pasur "njerez" ne te kaluaren te cilet kan propaganduar keto marrezira, dhe i propagandojn dhe sot e kesaj dite (Vorio Epiri...).
Kush e ka pat ate mendje djallezore eshte thjesht aj ose ata qe kan dasht ne te gjitha menyrat m'i qrrenjosur shqipet prej tokes. Pra, ata (ortodokset) ne bashkepunim me tyrqelit "ran dakort" dhe filluan ta gjysmesojne ose ta etiketojne popullin ton simbas religjonit. Kesht qe, ata qe mbajshin fene krishtere i quajshin "grek", kurse te tjeret qe ishin musliman "turk". Rrjedhimisht dhe pikerisht kur piktore te famshem nga mbar bota arriten ne Ballkan dhe posaqerisht ne Greqine aktuale, pikturuan simbas te dhenave te atyrve qe ishin ne fuqi... nga kjo marrezire dhe/ose dezinformacion del qe plot luftetar shqiptar jan te ashtuquajtur "grek". Faktikisht, nese e marrim parasyesh kreangritjen e "Greqise" mund te themi shum thjesht qe rreth 90% te kryengritesve trima ishin THJESHT shqiptar, qe hanin, flisnin, vdiqnin ne gjuhen ame, ose ne SHQIP.
Dhe une kuptoj habin e te atyrve qe ne nje piktur shohin dy burra shqiptar, te veshur me fustanella e me 'tagana ne dore dhe qe jan te quajtur njeri "grek" dhe tjetri "turk"; hironikisht, ansjeri prej tyre nuk quhet shiptar.
