ET’HEM BEY MOSQUE
The Et’hem Bey Mosque, located in the heart of Tirana near Skanderbeg Square, is one of the city’s oldest and most beautiful monuments. Built at the end of the 18th century and completed by Haxhi Et’hem Bey in the early 19th century, it represents a gem of Ottoman architecture. Its walls are adorned with rare frescoes depicting natural landscapes, an unusual feature for mosques of that time. The elegant dome and slender minaret give its silhouette a distinctive beauty. Today, it remains not only a place of worship but also a cultural and historical symbol of Tirana.
THE PYRAMID OF TIRANA
Piramida e Tiranës është një nga ndërtesat më ikonike dhe më të debatueshme të kryeqytetit. Ajo u ndërtua në vitin 1988 si muze për diktatorin Enver Hoxha, por me kalimin e viteve ka ndryshuar funksione të shumta. Me formën e saj unike futuriste, ajo përfaqëson një kujtesë të së kaluarës dhe një hapësirë për të ardhmen. Sot, pas rikonstruksionit, është shndërruar në një qendër moderne kulturore dhe rinore.
TIRANA LAKE
Tirana’s Artificial Lake is one of the city’s most beloved spaces for relaxation and recreation. Surrounded by lush greenery and walking and cycling paths, it offers a peaceful escape from the city’s noise. The surrounding park is an ideal spot for families, athletes, and nature lovers. With beautiful views in every season, it is the green lung of the capital.
