Tirana is the capital of Albania, and the biggest city of the country. Still it is a small and compact place that is best explored on foot. Its architecture bears considerable influence of Italian as well as Turkish monuments, lying as it does exactly between Rome and Istanbul. The Skėnderberg Square is a huge open space in the centre of the city while Mt. Dajti, at 5,030 ft, towers over the eastern side. Tirana is dotted by many museums.

__________History

Tirana is 110 m above sea level. The average annual temperatures are in July 24°C and in January 7°C. Annual rainfalls are 1200m per year. Tirana is on the same parallel as Naples, Madrid and Istanbul and on the same meridian as Budapest and Krakow.

Sulejman Pasha from the village of Mullet founded Tirana in 1614. In the beginning, he built a mosque, a bakery and a Turkish sauna. Two centuries later the Toptani family led the city from Kruja.

There exist four theories about the origins of the name Tirana:

First, it is thought that Tirana comes from the word Theranda found in ancient Greek and Latin sources because those living there called it Tė ranat ("fallen material"), because the plain was formed as a result of the strong materials which were brought by the water from the surrounding mountains.

Second, Tirana comes from Tirkan. Tirkan was a castle on the face of mount Dajti. The ruins of this ancient castle still exist, which dates back to the beginning of the first century before the birth of Christ, and which is thought to have been the castle which the Byzantine historian named Prokop (6th century) called the castle of Tirkan.

Third, Tirana comes from Teheran, the capital of Iran, in remembrance of the victory by Sulejman Pasha (founder of the city), head of the Turkish army during the campaign in Persia.

Fourth, an old Tirana tale says that Sulejman Pasha took the name of the city from an old lady whom he had met at the site where he was going to build the city. When Sulejman Pasha asked the old lady what she was doing she answered “ Po tir an (meaning "spinning silk")”.

Mount Dajti is 1612 m high and is situated on the east of Tirana.

The Congress of Lushnja declared Tirana a temporary capital for the first time on February 8th 1920 and it gained this status permanently on December 31st 1925. Tirana has been the world’s Bektashi headquarters since 1925, when the Bektashis were banned and expelled from Turkey

The first district in Tirana was Bami. The mosque in the centre of Tirana, called Et’hem Bey, began to be built in 1789 by Molla Bey, who came from Petrela and was finished in 1821 by his son, Haxhi Et’hem Bey, great-grandson of Sulejman Pasha. The best artisans in Albania built it.

The clock tower was begun by Haxhi Et’hem Bey around 1821-1822 and was finished with the help of rich Tirana families. Tufina family did the installation of the clock. In 1928 the Albanian State bought a modern clock in Gemany and the tower was raised to a height of 35m. During the Second World War the clock was damaged but was restored to operation in July 1946.

The Tabak Bridge (in front of the Albanian parliament) dates back to the 18th century.

The holy tomb of Kapllan Pasha (near the Unknown Soldier monument) was built in 1816.

The fortress of Petrela is located 12km from Tirana and dates back to the 4th century BC. Its current architecture is from the 13th century during the domination of Topia tribe, and later on it became the property of the Kastriot family.

The Durres Road was constructed in 1922 and was called “Nana Mbretneshė “ (Queen Mother).

A lot of houses and gardens were destroyed for its construction.

The current Parliament building was built in 1924 and first served as officers club. There on the 1st of September Ahmet Zogu declared the monarchy.

The well-known Italian architects of the Mussolini period, Florestano de Fausto and Armando Brasini planned the centre of Tirana in the beginning of the 1930s. The Palace of Brigadiers (ex-royal palace), Ministry buildings, National Bank and the Town Hall are their work.

The boulevard "Deshmoret e Kombit" (Martyrs of the Nation) was built in 1930 and it was named Boulevard Zog I. During the period of communism, the part of the boulevard between Scanderbeg square and the train station was named "Stalin" Boulevard.

The Palace of Culture, the location of The Theatre of Opera and Ballet and the National Library, was finished in 1963. It was built over the former Tirana bazaar and Khrushchev laid the first brick in 1959.

The monument of Scanderbeg was built in 1968. It is a work of Odhise Paskali with the collaboration of Andrea Mano and Janaq Pano. It was put up on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of our national hero.

The monument "Nena Shqiperi" (Mother Albania), 12 m tall, was inaugurated in the "Deshmoret e Kombit" cemetery in 1971.

The Academy of Sciences was finished in April 1972.

The National Art Gallery was opened in 1976 and it includes about 3200 works of Albanian and foreign artists.

The National History museum was built in 1981 and the mosaic on the front of the building is titled "Albania".

The International Centre of Culture, formerly the mausoleum of Enver Hoxha was inaugurated in 1988. It was designed by a group of architects under the direction of Pranvera Hoxha and Klement Kolaneci.

Villa Goldi

Located on Rruga Dibres, a short walk from the center of the city, the Villa Goldi is an authentic Italian villa that now serves as a great restaurant. The lower level boasts a nice bar and coffee bar, while the main floor is a full service eatery. Prices are not exorbitant but are higher than many of the street restaurants in Tirana. We love to come here in the early evening for a quiet dinner.

Tirana (in albanese: Tiranė o Tirana) č la capitale e la pił grande cittą dell'Albania. Situata a 41.33°N, 19.82°E, nel distretto e nella prefettura o contea dallo stesso nome. La sua popolazione č stimata ufficialmente a 853.400 abitanti nel 2003, anche se altre stime con la provincia nel 2006 portano la cifra fino a 1.000.000. Fondata nel 1614, divenne capitale dell'Albania nel 1920.

Posizionata sul fiume Ishem, Tirana č il principale centro politico industriale e culturale dell'Albania. Le industrie principali sono quelle dei settori di costruzione edile, alimentare, elettro-meccanico, tessile, farmaceutico, e metallurgico. Tirana ha sperimentato una rapida crescita, con la nascita di numerose industrie, a partire dagli anni '20.

Tirana sta attualmente cercando di sviluppare un industria del turismo, anche se questo sforzo č ostacolato dall'instabilitą politica della regione, causata dai conflitti militari degli anni '90 in Albania e nelle confinanti Bosnia-Erzegovina, Kosova e Macedonia.

Elementi culturali

La moschea Ethem Bey, la cui costruzione venne iniziata da Molla Bey nel 1789, e terminata nel 1821 dal figlio, Haxhi Ethem Bey, bisnipote di Sulejman Pasha č uno dei monumenti pił significativi. Un altro luogo d'interesse, situato vicino alla moschea, in Piazza Skanderbeg, č la torre dell'orologio (Kulla e Sahatit) costruita nel 1830. Nel 2001, venne terminata la pił grande chiesa di Tirana, la Chiesa Cattolica di San Paolo.

La cittą č sede dell'Universitą Statale di Tirana, fondata nel 1957, e di molti edifici governativi e culturali, come Academia delle Scienze Albanese, Istituti di Ricerche, l'Accademia delle Arti, L'Universitą dell'Agricoltura, l'Accademia Militare, l'Istituto del Ministero degli Interni, l'Assemblea del Popolo e l'Alta Corte Costituzionale.

 

Storia

Tirana venne fondata nel 1614 dal generale ottomano Sulejman Pasha, che vi costruģ una moschea, un forno e un bagno turco, e la chiamņ "Tehran", in onore della sua vittoria militare a Teheran in Persia (oggi Iran). La piccola cittą venne scelta come temporanea capitale dell'Albania (una scelta di compromesso tra il nord e il sud del paese), dal governo albanese provvisorio stabilito dal Congresso di Lushnjė (gennaio 1920). Nel novembre 1944 vi si insediņ il governo comunista di Enver Hoxha.

La popolazione della cittą, stimata a solo 12.000 abitanti nel 1910, salģ a 30.000 nel censimento del 1930 e a 60.000 nel 1945, nonostante l'intervento dell'occupazione straniera e della guerra. Durante gli anni '50 Tirana sperimentņ un periodo di rapida crescita di urbanizazzione industriale, che portņ gli abitanti a 137.000 nel 1960. Alla fine degli anni '90, Tirana sperimentņ la sua crescita pił rapida, quando molti albanesi dal nord e dal sud di spostarono nella capitale per cercare una vita migliore.

Attualmente, la cittą soffre a causa della sovrapopolazione e della gestione dei rifiuti, per carenza di acqua corrente ed elettricitą. Il problema viene esacerbato dall'invecchiamento delle infrastrutture. Nonostante i problemi, Tirana ha anche sperimentato una rapida crescita nella costruzione di nuovi edifici.

Negli anni recenti l'inquinamento č diventato un altro grosso problema per Tirana, poiché il numero di automezzi č cresciuto notevolmente. Si tratta per la maggior parte di vecchie auto diesel fuori norme UE, che inquinano molto di pił dei modelli in circolazione nel resto d'Europa. In aggiunta, il carburante importato dalla Grecia e dalla Turchia, usato in Albania contiene maggiori quantitą di zolfo e piombo, rispetto a quanto consentito dei standart nei paesi UE.

L'attuale sindaco di Tirana, Edi Rama, ha cercato di migliorare il panorama cittadino, le strade e gli spazi pubblici, ripulendo le rive del fiume Lana, e ridipingendo i vecchi edifici.

Negli anni a cavallo tra gli '80 e i '90, Tirana fu il punto focale di violente dimostrazioni, che in definitiva portarono al collasso del governo comunista.
