The statue of Skanderbeg will be placed in Paris, France.
Gjergj Kastrioti Skรซnderbeu (1405โ1468) is considered a defender of Western civilization, particularly in the context of his resistance against the Ottoman Empire. As the leader of the Albanian resistance, he successfully united Albanian principalities and led numerous military campaigns against the Ottomans, preventing their expansion into Western Europe for over two decades.
His efforts earned him recognition and admiration across Europe. The Pope and various European leaders saw him as a crucial defender of Christendom, as his battles helped shield parts of Italy and Central Europe from Ottoman incursions.
While interpretations of his legacy vary, many historians and scholars regard Skรซnderbeu as a key figure in defending Western civilization during the 15th century.
