Tanners’ Bridge

Tanners’ Bridge

Tanners' Bridge is a beautifully restored Ottoman-era stone bridge that once crossed the Lanë stream, facilitating trade for the nearby butchers and tanners. Dating back to the 18th century, it serves as an important symbol of Tirana's historical development. With its recent restoration, the bridge offers a glimpse into Tirana's rich history, contrasting with the Soviet-era housing in the background. It is one of the few well-preserved examples of the city's Ottoman past.
