Monument to the National Warrior
Monumenti i Luftëtarit Kombëtar
A bronze warrior statue from 1932 and a symbol of Korçë, standing between the main pedestrian boulevard and the First Albanian School.
The statue was created by Albanian sculptor Odhise Paskali and unveiled in 1932. It shows an Albanian warrior holding a rifle and striding forward proudly, commemorating the struggle for national independence. It is the image of Korçë that appears most often on postcards. Around it are the city's main square and pedestrian streets, lined with restaurants and cafés, and it is especially photogenic under the evening lights. Admission is free, and a visit takes only a few minutes. It is best combined with the cathedral and the First Albanian School in a walking route.
