About Tirana

Tirana, Albaniens bunte Hauptstadt: bemalte Fassaden, osmanische und italienische Bauten, Bunker des Kalten Krieges und Cafés an jeder Ecke.

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.
