About Tirana

Tirana er Albanias fargerike, livlige hovedstad, med malte bygninger, ottomanske og italienske landemerker, kaldkrigsbunkere og kaféer overalt.

Skanderbeg-plassen, et enormt åpent torg, er byens hjerte, omgitt av Et'hem Bey-moskeen med sine fine freskoer, klokketårnet og Nasjonalmuseet for historie med det gigantiske mosaikkbildet fra sosialisttiden. I nærheten er Pyramiden i Tirana en slående betongrest fra de kommunistiske tiårene.
