About Tirana

Tirana, capitale colorée de l'Albanie : bâtiments peints, monuments ottomans et italiens, bunkers de la guerre froide et cafés à chaque coin.

La place Skanderbeg, vaste esplanade ouverte, est le cœur de la ville, flanquée de la mosquée Et'hem Bey aux fresques délicates, de la tour de l'Horloge et du Musée national d'histoire avec son immense mosaïque de l'ère socialiste. Tout près, la Pyramide de Tirana est un frappant vestige de béton des décennies communistes.

Top-ranked sights in Tirana: Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej), Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid), Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut).
