Points forts

Elbasan, located in the heart of Albania, has roots in the ancient Illyrian kingdom of Skampa, dating back to the 1st millennium BC. Excavations reveal that the city's walls were rebuilt in the first half of the 4th century AD. In 1466, Sultan Mehmed II restored the fortifications and renamed the town El-Basan, which means "the fortress" in Turkish. During our visit, we explore the city walls, then pass through the Bazaar Gate near the Clock Tower to reach the St. Mary’s and St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Church, renowned for its beautiful stone arcades on the walls.

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).
