The video shows a professional drone footage of Žabljak Crnojevića, or Žabljak, an abandoned medieval fortress in Montenegro located at the confluence of the Morača river and Lake Skadar. It was founded in the 10th century and served as the capital of Zeta under the Crnojević dynasty from 1466 to 1478. The Ottomans seized the town in 1478 and held it for 400 years until it fell under Montenegrin administration in 1878. The fortress has tall walls with towers and one gate, and within the walls are preserved structures such as Ivan Crnojević's court, Church of Saint George, housing and military facilities, a warehouse for clothes, and a water tank. In the early 17th century, the town was under Ottoman rule and had only one resident, the Dizdar Aga.

The Rodoni Castle or Skanderbeg Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Rodonit; Kalaja e Skënderbeut) is a castle in Albania. After the victorious First Siege of Krujë the League of Lezhë decided to increase the fortifications for use against the Ottoman Empire. Skanderbeg chose the cape of Rodon as the location of the castle and construction began in 1450. The walls of the castle that was completed in approximately 1452 had a length of 400 metres (1,300 ft). When the Second Siege of Krujë started in 1466 Skanderbeg retreated to Rodoni Castle from where he and his family, together with many people from Albania, were transported to Brindisi in 14 ships. According to Marin Barleti this castle was destroyed by Ottoman forces in 1467. In 1500 the castle was rebuilt by the Republic of Venice. As a result of the corrosive action of the sea waves, some of the walls are now under the waters of the Adriatic. Today the visitors can see the outer walls on the right side and the tower at the place they intersect.

Krujë Castle is located in the city of Krujë which gains its name from a historic work from the year 879 written by a Bishop known as David. The word Krujë means 'spring' and gains its name from the abundance of natural spring water in the region. It is believed that the castle was originally constructed in the 5th century A.D. and has been rebuilt multiple times throughout the centuries. Krujë castle is located at the top of a craggy mountain 680 meters (2,230 feet) above sea level. From the castle there is a broad view that spans from Mount Tomori in the south to Ulcinj in the north with views of the Adriatic coast throughout. The castle itself has a unique elliptical shape that occupies 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) with an 800 meter long outside wall. The castle was the site of the national hero Skanderbeg's resistance to the Ottoman attacks in the years 1450, 1466, and 1467. Within the castle, there are many facilities that can be visited such as: The National Historical Museum 'Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg', the Ethnographic Museum, the Dollmas Temple, the Medieval Hammam, the Clock Tower, the Church of St. Ndreu, the Fatih Mosque, the Medieval Home and the Skenderbeg's Olive Tree. 

The property here was already in use in the middle of the 14th century. There is a reference, dating from 1466, to a merchant's home (on the right) and an accompanying outbuilding the storehouse. The house has a kitchen with a corner pillar inside the base of the mantle chimney; there are stairs in one of the walls and stone jambs for the large windows in the family room, all preserved from the middle ages. The outhouse was converted into a dwelling probably during the time of Henrigh Tunderfeldt (1659-1675) burgomaster and assessor of the town court. After the Nordic War (1728), ownership of the house was transferred to a merchant family by the name of Clayhills, whose successful trading company was active in Tallinn until the Second World War.
