The Siege (also known as The Castle) is a novel by Albanian author Ismail Kadare, first published in 1970 in Tirana as Kështjella. It tells about the Albanian-Ottoman war during the time of Skanderbeg. It was translated into French by Jusuf Vrioni and then from French into English by David Bellos under the title The Siege. Bellos in his afterword suggests that the book is patterned after Main Barleti's work The Siege of Shkodra.
