The Pyramid of Tirana, once a museum and a monument honouring dictator Enver Hoxha, has been transformed into TUMO Center Tirana, an IT hub for creative technologies. Reopened in 2023, the renovated site now features cafés, studios, workshops and offices for start-ups, alongside classrooms where Albanian youth can learn technology skills for free. Steps added to the pyramid’s sloping façade allow visitors to walk on the symbolic structure, while colourful boxes scattered around the park create a vibrant public space.

Even today, the former Reichsparteitagsgelände (Nazi Party Rally Grounds) in the south of the city is still home to gigantic ruins representing the Nazi regime’s deluded notion of grandeur. The 11 km² complex was where the Nazi Party orchestrated its propaganda campaign. The documentation centre is located in the north wing of the Kongresshalle, which was designed by the Nazis to hold 50 000 people and was never completed. The permanent “Faszination und Gewalt” (“Fascination and Terror”) exhibition housed in the 1300 m² venue, chronicles the causes, relationships and consequences of the Nazi dictatorship.
