Established in the 3rd century B.C by an Illyrian tribe of central Albania with a protective castle, it was known as the fortified city of Antipatrea.

Der Skanderbeg-Platz, ein riesiger offener Platz, ist das Herz der Stadt, flankiert von der Et'hem-Bey-Moschee mit ihren zarten Fresken, dem Uhrturm und dem Nationalen Geschichtsmuseum mit seinem riesigen Mosaik aus sozialistischer Zeit. In der Nähe ist die Pyramide von Tirana ein auffälliges Betonrelikt der kommunistischen Jahrzehnte.
