About League of Prizren Museum

The League of Prizren complex on the Lumbardhi river, memorial museum of the Albanian league founded in Prizren in 1878, rebuilt after it burned during the 1999 war.

On 10 June 1878 Albanian leaders gathered in Prizren, then part of the Ottoman Empire, to oppose the partition of Albanian-inhabited lands after the Russo-Turkish War. Ottoman forces suppressed the League in 1881.
