Skanderbeg Square

Covering approximately 40,000 m², it is the largest square in Albania.

The square is surrounded by the Palace of Culture, Hotel Tirana, the National Museum, and the Bank of Albania.

In 2018, Skanderbeg Square was declared the Best Public Space in Europe, triumphing among 279 projects from 32 competing countries. Today, the square stands as a symbol of Tirana’s transformation – a beloved place for all of us.
