A morning in Tirana begins on the broad stones of Skanderbeg Square, where city life pushes and pulls like a current around the statue of its national hero. The guide leads the group past Et’hem Bey Mosque’s painted panels and the austere concrete angles of the Pyramid—each structure a chapter in the city’s uneasy twentieth-century story.
