A must‑see historic landmark in the heart of Tirana, this iconic Ottoman‑era tower offers great panoramic views over Skanderbeg Square and the city if you climb to the top.

This historical clock tower is one of the most iconic landmarks in Tirana. Its elegant design and soft lighting at night make it a great photo spot.

I’ve never heard that banks wouldn’t accept the money of their own country… The woman told me to spend my small change in the market but not in the tower.. She advised me to give her €2… I was shocked that I was not appreciated as a tourist in her country and my Albanian Lekë was not good enough…
