Mausoleum of the Albanian Royal Family, Royal mausoleum in Tirana, Albania

The marble and stone mausoleum contains the remains of King Zog I, Queen Geraldine, and other members of the Albanian royal family.

Built in 1935, the mausoleum became a burial site for Albanian royalty until political changes forced the monarchy into exile in 1939.

The structure demonstrates the architectural preferences of 1930s Albania, combining national motifs with European cemetery design elements of that period.

Located in central Tirana, the mausoleum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in English and Albanian.

The reinterment of King Zog I and Queen Geraldine in 2012 marked the final return of the exiled monarchs to their homeland.
