Skanderbeg Square
Sheshi Skënderbeu
The urban square at the northern end of the pedestrian boulevard, home to an equestrian statue of Skanderbeg, the Albanian national hero, and surrounded by parliament and government buildings.
The square is named after Skanderbeg, the 15th-century Albanian national hero who resisted the Ottomans. His bronze equestrian statue stands at the center, surrounded by the Kosovo Assembly, government buildings and the Grand Hotel. It often hosts rallies, concerts and festive events. The square connects to Mother Teresa Boulevard, and a few minutes' walk north brings you to the clock tower and mosque area of the old town. It is open all day and free to visit.
