MY VOYAGES

Albania - Tirana

Albania's capital Tirana does not have many monuments. Most were destroyed during the communist regime of Enver Hoxha. Western tourists like to visit the former nuclear shelter in the city center, built at the end of the dictatorship, but I did not feel like it. I really liked the Ethem Beja Mosque, miraculously saved from the atheist revolution, reminiscent of the Painted Mosque of Tetovo in North Macedonia.
