The "Boulevard of the Martyrs of the Nation" is a wide and impressive kilometre-long road stretching north-south between Sheshi Skënderbej and Sheshi Nënë Tereza. The street and many of the examples of fascist architecture along it are the work of the Italian architect Gherardo Bosio in the late 1930s. With several of the city’s museums, national institutions, and the Et’hem Bey Mosque along its length, the street offers something of a condensed history lesson of the city in one architectural ensemble.
