An excavated Byzantine-era church ruin that was only discovered in 1972 boasts Tirana's oldest artworks: mosaics with geometric patterns and depictions of poultry and fish. Nicely exhibited in a little park and protected by a makeshift roof, there are also various stones, some from the church iconostasis, scattered around the site. Unfortunately there's little in the way of explanations. A little obscure but well worth a look if you're in this part of town: look for the Hallall pizzeria on the northern end of the street, and walk 100 metres west.
Admission free.

I am speechless! The attitude of the government and of the Albanian people is amazing!
IYP Team: We know it is not fair.. that's why we should voice our opinion and wake up our officials!
