1. Renovated since 2017, Korca Old Bazaar is one of the most pleasant in Korça with its stone houses, cobbled streets and terraces. Craftsmen were grouped there by trade, shops and caravanserais attracting merchants from all over the Empire. After the destruction of the commercial center of Moscopole in the 18th century, the Shariah captured the European merchants of Trieste, Vienna and Venice. At that time, there were as many as a thousand shops, occupying three times as much space as today. It extended as far as the present Shën-Gjergji pedestrian boulevard with bridges spanning a river later covered by the Fan-Noli Boulevard. Initially built of wood, the district burned several times before being built of concrete. Activity declined after independence (1912), when Korça lost the traditional outlets of the Ottoman Empire.

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).
