- Pristina National Library - After 2.30 min drive from Tirana, we will visit National Library. This building was completed in 1986. Covered in a lattice of fence-like metal, the building’s windows are obstructed, giving views from within the library a captive essence. Designed in the brutalist style, in many ways the library seems to look toward the future. Yet the white domes that top the many sections of the library were built to resemble men’s hats of the national outfit, putting the library in the middle of a conflict between tradition and modernity. Inside, there are more than 2 million library items, including rare materials such as books, newspapers, manuscripts, maps and photographs. There are two reading rooms, an amphitheater and a meeting hall. It has been used by Croatian and Bosnian refugees as living quarters and by the Serbian Army as a command center, during which many historical books were destroyed.

As the primary city of the Republic of Kosovo, Prishtina signifies the heart of artistic and cultural growth for all Albanians residing in Kosovo. The city centre of Prishtina exhibits a captivating blend of architecture- contemporary towers financed by the EU or US, with steel and glass designs, stand adjacent to old Yugoslavian Communist era buildings which were once worker’s residences. Even with its intriguing and admittedly tumultuous history, Kosovo now sees nearly 200,000 tourists annually, a trend likely to persist as more people learn about its stylish, economically friendly, and eccentric capital.
