Lonely Planet review

Sheshi Skënderbej is the bustling heart of the city. Until it was pulled down by the angry mob on 20 February 1991 a 10m-high gold-leaf-covered statue of Enver Hoxha stood here, watching over a mainly carless square. Now only the equestrian statue of Skanderbeg remains, deaf to the cacophony of screeching horns, as cars four lanes deep try to shove their way through the battlefield below.
