Itinerary description
|
Albania day 1
A city trek of almost 20 km through the Albanian capital, on a sunny day, discovering true architectural pearls. A vibrant city in full expansion and modernization, which almost makes you forget the decades of repression, authoritarianism and complete isolation, during the decades of the communist regime led by Enver Hoxh in Albania.
As we wander through the streets of Tirana we realize its richness and multiculturalism, reflected in the fascinating mix of Ottoman influences, such as the Et'hem Bey Mosque and the Tirana Bazaar; Italian with the remodeling of city buildings and construction of some government and residential buildings built with characteristics of the Italian neoclassical style during the Italian occupation; and communist perceived by the series of monumental buildings in brutalist style, characterized by their robust appearance, such as the Palace of Culture and the Hoxha Blocks, Skanderbeg Square and the National Park are other examples.
Circular trail starting from Selita and Vogël, passing through:
- Katedralja and Shën Palit (5.8 km)
- Xhamia and Et'hem Beut (8.4 km)
- Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral (15.1 km)
