Big park in Tirana

Tirana Park on an artificial lake, St. Procopius Park, Parku i Madh, Parku i Shën Prokopit
Albania, Tirana
In the south of the capital of Albania is the beautiful Great Park of the University of Tirana. The park was designed by the architect Gerhardo Bozio in 1936. According to his idea, the park was to be located on the hills behind the buildings (now the University) and cover an area of ​​as much as 22 hectares. However, the Gerhardo Bozio project was not implemented soon, only at the end of the 50s. The famous street of a thousand cypresses was planted, a monument to Belvedere and many other iconic personalities, a sports complex, a theater were built, new roads were added in 1978, and a fountain began to work.
On the territory of the park there is a large man-made lake with an area of ​​55 hectares with artificial islands in the center, boat stations, lawns and sandy beaches.
The park has 166 species of trees grown in nurseries, flower beds, hedges and compositions of ornamental shrubs.
Today it is one of the favorite vacation spots for Albanians.

The hills to the south of the city center, just behind the stadium and the university, up to a large reservoir lake, are occupied by a vast park, in some places turning into a forest, a popular resting place for tyrants. A road is laid along the lake, along which athletes run, walkers defile and you can buy nuts, chestnuts, pies and all sorts of things, on a hill there is a war memorial and a monument to the fighters for the independence of Albania.
