George Castrioti-Scanderbeg.550th.Gjergj Kastrioti-Skenderbeu

The helmet associated with Gjergj Kastrioti, also known as Skanderbeg, is a prominent object in the Imperial Armoury of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. While widely connected to the Albanian national hero, the helmet's origins are believed to be Italian. It was attributed to Skanderbeg in the late 16th century by Archduke Ferdinand II. The helmet is a symbol of Skanderbeg's resistance against the Ottoman Empire and his legacy as a national icon.
