Mother Teresa Square, Urban square in central Tirana, Albania.
The second largest square in Tirana features extensive paved areas flanked by educational institutions and administrative buildings at the southern end of Deshmoret e Kombit Boulevard.
Italian architect Gherardo Bosio designed this square between 1939 and 1941 during the Italian occupation, initially naming it Victor Emmanuel III Square.
The square changed its name to honor Mother Teresa, an Albanian-born Catholic nun who dedicated her life to caring for people in need in Calcutta.
The square connects to multiple universities, the Archaeological Museum, and the Academy of Albanological Studies, with numerous restaurants and shops in the surrounding area.
The 2014 restoration project modified the square's layout by removing both the central fountain and Mother Teresa's statue in preparation for Pope Francis's visit.
