The mosaic was discovered following excavations for an apartment complex. Various artifacts point to the presence of a village in the area thousands of years ago. This is the only archaeological site in Tirana.

This museum features the fauna and geological composition of Albania.

This well-preserved traditional house owned by painter Sali Shijaku features art displays, traditional house emnities, and a restaurant.

Popular weekend beach retreat where small seaside resorts can be found. This is also where Albania's wealthy rest. Visit Skanderbeg Castle along the cost, and a small church at Rodon Cape nearby.

This is a teqe (teqe or cemevi is a Turkish meeting house for communal worship service) in Tirana. Back in the day it was also the home of a local sheikh. It's listed as a cultural monument of Albania, however it's private property and can likely only be seen from the outside.

The largest museum in Albania holds many of the country's archaeological treasures and a replica of Skanderbeg's massive sword (how he held it, rode his horse and fought at the same time, is a mystery). The lighting might be poor but the excellent collection is almost entirely signed in English and takes you chronologically from ancient Illyria to the post-communist era. The collection of statues, mosaics and columns from Greek and Roman times is breathtaking.
