Tirana has been populated since Paleolithic times, dating back 10,000 to 30,000 years ago.

Tirana became Albania’s capital city in 1920 and is mostly surrounded by hills, with Dajti Mountain on the east and a slight valley opening on the north-west overlooking the Adriatic Sea in the distance.

The centre of Tirana was the project of Florestano Di Fausto and Armando Brasini, well known architects of the Benito Mussolini period in Italy.

Tirana has a rich mosaic of historic land natural landmarks. The town and surrounding area is home to the following natural and historical sites, which we are going to visit :
