Why Pyramid of Tirana matters
You can't miss this angular building near the centre. It was built in the 1980s as a memorial museum, then used for different purposes over time. Today it has been reimagined as a cultural space, and visitors can climb the sloping sides for a view of the city. It is a conversation starter about how a city reuses its past.
