Shkodra's most attractive quarters can be found in the area between the Colosseo hotel and the Cathedral. Gjuhadol is the district around Rruga 13 Dhjetori and Rruga Branko Kadia. Both streets are lined with elegant turn of the 20th century buildings. Named after the date of the popular uprising on 13 December 1990 which lead to the vandalism of many state institutions, the street still bears the scars of revolution - the former state bank is still an empty shell. Especially along  Rruga Branko Kadia you can see some grand former diplomatic residencies, constructed during the period that the Great Powers were pondering how to chop up the region in the aftermath of the Turkish defeat. Sarreq is the area around the cathedral, with a  few fine old houses remaining.
