Tirana is relatively new city established in 1614 by Sulejman Pasha, feudal of the area at the time. The city began to grow at the beginning of the 18 century, but it remained an unimportant town until it was proclaimed Albania’s capital in 1920. This was mainly due to its geographical position more or less in the middle of the country, on the fault-line between the northern Ghegs and the southern Tosks.
Italian planners and architects build the main square named after the national hero Skanderbeg, the huge boulevard, ministry buildings, national bank and the town hall. Today Tirana is not only the most populated city in Albania (over 800,000 inhabitants) but also the most important political and economic centre in the country. Dajti mountain and Adriatic sea are near to the city. It takes less than one hour drive to reach the sea.
