Pyramid of Tirana

The Pyramid of Tirana is a landmark building in the capital of Albania. Originally a museum dedicated to former Albanian leader Enver Hoxha, it has served as a conference center and a television studio over the decades. It also sat abandoned for a long time, with its exterior walls covered in graffiti. Its sloping facade, however, became a place for local youth to climb and play. After a comprehensive renovation, this old building has been revitalized. Its interior has been transformed into TUMO, a creative technology education center for teenagers, offering courses and activities focused on programming, robotics, and art. The bright, colorful space adds a sense of lightness to the originally heavy concrete shell. One of its sloping sides has been converted into a series of steps, allowing people to walk all the way to the top of the building to overlook the city view, continuing the building's unique climbable appeal. Not far in front of it hangs a Peace Bell, cast from shell casings collected during the social unrest of the late 1990s to commemorate those who lost their lives. A bell and a building perfectly encapsulate the changes this city has undergone over the decades.
