Albania Sketchbook - Flipbook - Page 6
The elves at The Cultural Experience Company wax lyrical:
Tirana became the centre of the Illyrian
Kingdom of the Taulantii and was later
annexed by the Romans. We get a
superb insight into the multi-layered
nature of the city, and indeed, the
country itself.
We will also gain a greater
understanding of postclassical Albania as
we wander the delightful pedestrianised
streets marvelling at Ottoman and
Communist heritage, as well as the
brash brightly painted buildings.
There is the option of visiting the
remarkable Communist-era bunkers.
