Overview

Skip the crowds—this is a private tour for your group only! Embark on a relaxing walking tour through Tirana, the lively capital of Albania. Feel the city’s vibrant atmosphere and hear fascinating stories about its rich heritage, long history, and unique culture. Begin at the historic Skanderbeg Square and learn about Albania’s national hero and the country’s medieval past. Discover Tirana’s religious roots by visiting a unique central mosque and uncover its connection to the communist era. Explore how life once was under that regime. Admire a monument dedicated to one of Tirana’s former rulers and understand the Ottoman influence on the city.

    Tyrbja e Kapllan Pashës

    It was constructed with carved stones and has an octagonal form in the early 19th century. The caps and bases of the columns are built of stone, and they are topped with capitals that have plant decorations on them. The previous monarch of Tirana was imprisoned here in the nineteenth century but was eventually returned to Istanbul, Turkey. It was next to the Suleyman Pasha Tomb, not to be mistaken with the Sylejman Pasha Mosque, which was demolished during World War II. The Municipality of Tirana just completed the restoration.
