The country's most famous statue in its largest square. Bronze by Odhise Paskali depicting the national hero on horseback.

Installed here in 1968, this bronze equestrian statue (Statuja e Skënderbeut) is the most famous in Albania. Standing 5 m high (11 m with pedestal), it is the masterpiece of sculptor Odhise Paskali (1903-1985). Skanderbeg (1405-1468), who led the revolt against the Ottomans, is depicted according to the legend elaborated by writers at the end of the 19th century: helmet topped by a goat's head, scimitar (curved Ottoman sword), cape donated by Pope Paul II and horse whose neigh, it is said, terrified his enemies.

Place gigantesque où nous retrouvons bien l'évolution de l'Albanie avec la rénovation des bâtiments communistes bardés de nombreuses couleurs vives tout en n'oubliant pas le héros mythique et mythifié Skenderbeurg

La statue, massive et impressionnante, trône sur une Place Skanderbeg qui vient d'être refaite à neuf et inaugurée en grande pompe (avec discours du 1er ministre Edi Rama, chants, danses et feu d'atifice) ce samedi 10 juin 2017. C'est désormais une immense place piétonnière avec jets d'eau et beaucoup d'arbres en pots. Elle est le centre et la vitrine de la capitale, au milieu des centres d'intérêts (Grande Mosquée, Tour de l'Horloge, Opéra, Musée d'Histoire...).
