PLACE DEMOKRACIA
Read moreDemocracy Square (Sheshi Demokracia) isn't very pretty: it's a traffic circle right in the center of Shkodra. But it's not to be missed. Here you'll find buses to Tirana, a cab rank and the information center. Formerly known as "Place des Cinq-Héros-de-Vig" (Sheshi 5 Heronjtë e Vigut), it is bordered by the Migjeni theater, which dates from 1958, a clock tower (without a clock!) built by an Englishman around 1890, the recent Abou-Bakr mosque and a series of unattractive buildings dating from after the 1979 earthquake.
