Skanderbeg Square

Skanderbeg Square is Tirana’s great civic centre. Within a few hundred metres it brings together Ottoman buildings, Italian architecture, monuments from the communist period and contemporary transformations. At the centre stands the equestrian statue of Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, the fifteenth century nobleman who became a national hero through his resistance to the Ottoman Empire.

Tirana Castle

Tirana Castle does not appear today as a complete fortress. What survives are sections of wall integrated into the city centre beside a pedestrian street filled with restaurants and shops.
