The Grand Park of Tirana, with its artificial lake, is a lush retreat in the heart of Albania's capital. Once a grazing area for Vlach shepherds, it has transformed into a key recreational and cultural spot. The lake, created in 1955 through community effort, and the park's layout, envisioned by architect Valentina Pistoli, now host memorials, an amphitheater, and the city's only zoo.
Covering over 1.5 million square meters, it's the largest green space in Tirana, enhancing the city's landscape and microclimate. The park is rich in biodiversity, featuring a variety of trees, shrubs, birds, and other wildlife.

The Brigades Palace, a key piece of Albania's heritage, is open to the public. Hidden behind tall cypresses, its entrance features the "Pantheon" with busts of notable figures. Initially designed for King Zog in the 1930s by Italian architects Julio Berte’ and Gherardio Bosio, it stands as a unique example of "monumental rationalism."
The 74-hectare park, landscaped by renowned European designers, includes a church for Queen Geraldine, sculptures, and royal gardens with fountains, statues, and a variety of trees, some over 70 years old. The palace, inaugurated in 1941, has been the residence for several of Albania's presidents since 1990, maintaining its original form through decades. -
