    It is an impressive large equestrian statue of Skanderbeg, the National Hero who led the independence rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. It is located in the square named after him.

    Tiran sadece buradan ibaret desem yeridir... Arnavutların ulusal kahramanı. Arnavutluk'un feodal hanedanlıklarından Kastriyota Hanedanı'ndandır. Babası Con, Gergi'yi Osmanlı sarayına rehin olarak gönderdi. Edirne'de II. Murad'ın hizmetinde bir içoğlanı eğitimi gören Gergi Müslüman oldu ve İskender adını aldı.Osmanlı sarayına alındığı zaman 18-19 yaşlarındaydı. Osmanlı'da önemli askerî hizmetlerde bulundu, Anadolu ve Rumeli seferlerine katıldı. 1443 yılında Morava Muharebesi sırasında kaçıp sancak beyi olduğunu ilan eden sahte bir fermanla Kroya kalesini ele geçirdi. 1468'de ölümüne kadar Osmanlı Devleti'nin Arnavutluk'ta yerleşmesine karşı mücadele etti.

    This is where Tirana’s premier monuments are all assembled, including the Clock Tower, Et’hem Bey Mosque and the National History Museum. I There’s a monument to Skanderbeg in the square, which occupies the spot where a communist-era statue of Josef Stalin once stood. The architecture surrounding the square is neo-renaissance, and there’s a large lawn with flower beds to round off the stately atmosphere.

    Osmanlı'nın eğitimini alıp, herşeyi onlardan öğrenip ihanet eden bir Paşa burada halk kahramanı ilan edilmiş. 🤔

    Questa statua raffigurante Skandenbeg, eroe albanese che difese la patria dall’invasione ottomana nel XV secolo, si perde nell’ampiezza della piazza che porta il suo nome, sembrando quasi relegata in un angolo. Peccato.

    It is the statue of the Albanian leader and national hero Giorgio Castriota Scanderbeg, a very important figure for the whole of European civilization thanks to his resistance against the Ottomans. Truly imposing, it stands out over the main square of Tirana, dedicated to him.

    In the main square of the city, in its center, there is the statue of the national hero Scanderbeg. I advise you to discover the story of this Albanian leader who defended his country from the Ottoman Turkish Muslim invasion.

    Located on a wonderful square, its grandeur is something that is impossible not to admire

    La statua è bella, però peccato per la posizione defilata nella piazza. Se fosse stata messa al centro, sarebbe stata sicuramente più valorizzata.
