Tirana

Tirana is best known within Albania for serving as the country’s capital and political centre. The city spreads across the plain west of Mount Dajti, while the Lana River passes through its central districts. Skanderbeg Square forms the civic heart of Tirana, named for Albania’s national hero and bordered by major public institutions. Nearby, the Et'hem Bey Mosque, begun in the late 18th century, is a surviving landmark from the Ottoman-era town. Since the fall of communism, Tirana has developed into Albania’s busiest centre for government, universities, cafés and contemporary culture.
