Tirana - Albania Virtual
* *
Mirë se erdhët në Tiranë
në kryeqytetin e Shqipërisë.
TIRANA ndodhet në qendër të Shqipërisë dhe është e mbyllur me male dhe kodra me malin Dajt duke ngritur në lindje dhe një luginë të vogël në veriperëndim me pamje nga deti Adriatik në distancë. Për shkak të vendndodhjes së tij në Rrafshnaltën e Tiranës dhe afërsisë me Detin Mesdhe, qyteti është veçanërisht i ndikuar nga klima sezonale e Mesdheut. Është ndër qytetet më të ulëta dhe më diell në Evropë, me 2,544 orë diell në vit. Tirana është qendra më e rëndësishme ekonomike, financiare, politike dhe tregtare në Shqipëri për shkak të vendndodhjes së saj të rëndësishme në qendër të vendit dhe transportit ajror, detar, hekurudhor dhe rrugor. Është selia e pushtetit të Qeverisë Shqiptare, me vendbanimet zyrtare të Presidentit dhe Kryeministrit të Shqipërisë dhe Parlamentit të Shqipërisë.
PYRAMID - Më 14 tetor 1988, struktura u hap si Muzeu Enver Hoxha, fillimisht duke shërbyer si një muze për trashëgiminë e Enver Hoxhës, udhëheqësit të gjatë të Shqipërisë Komuniste, i cili kishte vdekur tre vjet më parë. Struktura ishte bashkë-dizenjuar nga vajza e Hoxhës, Pranvera Hoxha, arkitekt, dhe bashkëshorti i saj, Klement Kolaneci, së bashku me Pirro Vaso dhe Vladimir Bregu. Kur u ndërtua, Piramida u tha të ishte struktura më e shtrenjtë individuale e ndërtuar ndonjëherë në Shqipëri. Piramida ndonjëherë është quajtur me sardonë "Mausoleumi i Enver Hoxhës", edhe pse kjo nuk ishte kurrë përdorimi i saj i qëllimshëm apo emërimi zyrtar.

Welcome to Tirana
in the capital of Albania.
TIRANA is located in the center of Albania and is enclosed by mountains and hills with Mount Dajt elevating on the east and a slight valley on the northwest overlooking the Adriatic Sea in the distance. Due to its location within the Plain of Tirana and the close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the city is particularly influenced by a Mediterranean seasonal climate. It is among the wettest and sunniest cities in Europe, with 2,544 hours of sun per year.
Tirana is the most important economic, financial, political and trade center in Albania due to its significant location in the center of the country and its modern air, maritime, rail and road transportation. It is the seat of power of the Government of Albania, with the official residences of the President and Prime Minister of Albania, and the Parliament of Albania.
PYRAMID - On 14 October 1988, the structure opened as the Enver Hoxha Museum, originally serving as a museum about the legacy of Enver Hoxha, the long-time leader of Communist Albania, who had died three years earlier. The structure was co-designed by Hoxha's daughter Pranvera Hoxha, an architect, and her husband Klement Kolaneci, along with Pirro Vaso and Vladimir Bregu.
When built, the Pyramid was said to be the most expensive individual structure ever constructed in Albania.
The Pyramid has sometimes been sardonically called the "Enver Hoxha Mausoleum", although this was never its intended use or official appellation.

Optional: Go up and take a nice photo.
I didn't expect to see the old, ruined pyramid looking so beautiful, so I doubted for s short while if I was in the right place. Instead of a flat wall/ramp of the pyramid there were now stairs - even a worse option for somebody who broke a knee 1,5 year ago, but I still made it to the top very slowly. Fortunately on the top I discovered there were many other staircases and also a lift!!! I loved the views, it was so nice to relax there just looking at the mountains after a crazy week at work, an early flight at 5 in the morning, a long connection and another flight. Thanks to the owner for the virtual!
Added 25.05 - yesterday I had no pen with me, so I couldn't take the photo with the username. I went back to the pyramid today and due to the heavy rain I had to take photos from a different perspective. It was amusing to see so may people running inside to escape the rain and also tourists enjoying this opportunity to take unique photos.
Krátký výlet do Albánie. Díky za keš.
Thanks for the Cache.

Beschreibung der Station
The Unknown Soldier Statue' (Albanian: Ushtari i panjohur) is a war memorial in Tirana for the soldiers that fell in the struggle against the Italian invaders during Second World War. It's located near the Albanian parliament and the Tomb of Kapllan Pasha. It was placed by the Albanian communists: For its construction, the 350-year old Sulejman Pasha Mosque built by the founder of the capital Sulejman Bargjini had been destroyed. The sculpture features a soldier with a raised fist and rifle, struggling forward. [Wikipedia] This monument was erected to honor the Albanian partisans who gave their lives in the war against fascism. It is a work of social realism created in 1949 and is considered the first monument erected after the Second World War, taking the place of the old mosque, which was destroyed during the fighting for the liberation of Tirana. The work was made in bronze by the sculptor Andrea Mano. [Municipality of Tirana] Also check out the ice cream café on the other side of the street! [Me]

Because I got the opportunity and there are so incredibly many statues and sculptures, not just in Tirana but also in many other cities of Albania, here is the sequel to my first lab cache in Tirana. So if you haven't done that before check it out: https://adventurelab.page.link/H7Xg My name is Nikolaus.Nb, I'm from Germany and living for one year in Albania. Because there are not so many caches, even in the beautiful capital Tirana, it's my task to improve on that. And again a reminder, because my English isn't the best, I do most of the times some copy/past of the additional information on the statues that I researched on the internet. So here we are with yet another lab cache, because I'm personally a huge fan of this kind of caches and always liked playing these. So have fun, enjoy the little tour through this lovely city (and country)! EDIT: Because I now have two labs existing, I swapped some of the station so they are better connected.

Beschreibung der Station
This square was named Scanderbeg’s Square on the 26th of November 1937. It was projected in a round shape and with a round fountain in the middle, while the dominating building was the old City Hall which was destroyed in 1980. This square was surrounded by traditional constructions: The Old Bazaar, The Clock Tower, The Et'hem Bey Mosque, The Evangelistic Church (which was destroyed later), etc. But during socialism period in this square was placed Stalin statue (4th of November 1951) which stayed there until 1968 when it was replaced with the monument of George Kastriot Scanderbeg. The monument was placed there on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of our national hero. This monument is an art work of the sculptors Odhise Paskali, Janaq Paço and Shaban Hadëri. It was inaugurated on 11th of January 1968. [Tirana municipality] The statue is 11 meters (36 ft) tall. [Wikipedia]

Beschreibung der Station
Ded Gjo Luli Dedvukaj also referred to as Ded Gjon Luli (November 1840–24 September 1915) was an Albanian guerrilla leader most notable for commanding the 1911 revolt against Ottoman troops. He was posthumously awarded the "Hero of Albania" title. Dedvukaj was the clan chieftain of the Hoti tribe. Dedë Gjo Luli is most known for starting the revolution for the Albanians, which eventually led to later actions by Luigj Gurakuqi, Ismail Qemali, and Isa Boletini. In Tirana, Albania's capital city, there is a street named in his honor called "Rruga Ded Gjo Luli". In the village of Bardhaj in Hot, the rubble of his house, that was left in ruins after the war, was converted into a museum which represents his life as a hero to the Albanian people. An epic poem on his 1910–11 fight against the Ottomans was written by Gjergj Fishta. [Wikipedia]

Géraldine
Count the letters of her name (surname and first name)!
Countess Géraldine Apponyi was Queen of the Albanians from her marriage to King Zog I on 27 April 1938 until the King was deposed on 7 April of the following year. Geraldine was born in Austria-Hungary into the noble Apponyi family. Her family fled to Switzerland in 1918, when the monarchy of Austria-Hungary was abolished. (...) She met the Albanian king Zog I in 1938, and they married shortly afterwards. The Italian invasion of Albania cut short Zog's reign. During World War II, King Zog and Queen Geraldine lived first in France and later in England. Later on, they would live in France again and in Egypt. After her husband died in Paris in 1961, Geraldine took the title Queen Mother and asserted the rights of her son Leka I, Crown Prince of Albania, to rule. She and Leka fled successively to Spain, Rhodesia, and South Africa. Geraldine was allowed to return to Albania in 2002, and she died that year aged 87. [Wikipedia]
