Dajti

Dajti is a limestone mountain near Tirana that forms part of the Skanderbeg range and extends across several kilometers. A cable car system lifts visitors from the city to around 1,000 meters elevation, where a tower building offers observation decks and visitor facilities.

The mountain was inhabited in ancient times by Illyrian peoples, whose ruins and fortifications remain scattered across its slopes today. In recent decades, it transformed into a public recreation area, with modern access infrastructure built to serve visitors from the city.

The mountain holds the main broadcasting antenna for Albanian public television, a landmark visible from the city below that has shaped its identity for decades. This installation reflects how the peak serves as a vital communication hub for the nation.

The cable car ride takes just a few minutes and brings visitors up comfortably without requiring any hiking experience. Once at the top, there are multiple pathways to explore, restaurants, and rest areas, making it accessible for people of all ages and fitness levels.

The tower building has a rotating bar on its upper floor that slowly turns while guests enjoy drinks or meals. As the floor revolves, visitors see the surrounding landscape continuously shift without having to move or walk anywhere.
