National Library of Albania, National library in Tirana, Albania
The National Library of Albania is a library in central Tirana with a modern white facade and large windows. The building contains reading rooms, research areas, and digital catalogs for students, scholars, and the public.
The library was founded in 1920 as the first state library during Albania's early independence period. It later grew into the institution that safeguards the most important collections of national written culture.
The collection reflects how Albanian written culture developed from medieval times to today. Visitors can see how national identity has been preserved through books and documents.
The institution is centrally located and accessible to students, researchers, and visitors. It helps to check opening hours in advance, as many collections require research skills or registration to access.
The collection holds over one million documents, including rare Ottoman manuscripts and early Albanian printed materials from the Renaissance period. Such historical materials are difficult to find elsewhere in Europe and make the archive an important research resource.
