Sali Shijaku's old villa

This 300-year-old villa belongs to the famous Albanian painter, Sali Shijaku, where he lives and works.

It is one of the most well-persevered 'treasures' of Tirana, the villa is a representation of Tirana's traditional architecture. In 1973, the villa was declared as a cultural monument of the first category.

The villa is located along Vildan Luarasi street, in the neighborhood known as Selvija. It is also a testament of Shijaku's artistic work, that can be seen at the main hall. At the villa's yard there is a bar, where visitors can have a drink and enjoy the yard.

In 2020 it underwent a restoration due to earthquake damage in 2019.
