The third siege of Krujë by the Ottoman Empire occurred in 1467 at Krujë in Albania.
The destruction of Ballaban Pasha's army and the siege of Elbasan during the previous siege of Krujë forced Mehmed II to re-attack Skanderbeg in the summer of 1467, only 2 months after the latter's victory at the 2nd siege of Krujë. This time Skanderbeg didn't retreat immediately to the mountains, but decided to confront the great Ottoman army at Burshek, on the Shkumbin River's valley in order to give time for the civil population to retreat into the mountains.[citation needed] Skanderbeg then retreated while Ottoman grand vizier Mahmud Pasha Angelović pursued him but Skanderbeg succeeded in fleeing to the coast and then to the mountains.[5] Meanwhile, Mehmed II sent detachments to raid the Venetian possessions (especially Durrës which was also put under siege and bombarded for a short period) and to keep them isolated. He besieged Kruje for a few days, but when the siege lasted for a long time, he decided to conquer the castle by leaving it hungry and thirsty with a long siege.[6] For this, he left some soldiers under the command of a Commander and returned to Istanbul.[7] [8] .Although Ottomans did not capture Krujë, they managed to plunder areas around Durres and Scutari.[9]
