Independence Monument

The Independence Monument stands as a central landmark in Tirana, Albania, situated within Rinia Park. Established on the 100th anniversary of Albania's independence from the Ottoman Empire, the monument represents a significant moment in the nation's history. While its architectural style is described as monolithic and not overly ornate, it holds considerable cultural importance for Albanians. Currently, due to park redevelopment (as of September 2019), the monument is best viewed from the street. It serves as a focal point for national pride and a reminder of the country's journey to sovereignty.
