The city center of Tirana has some significant religious buildings belonging to both the Muslim and Christian faiths. Under communism, Albania was officially an atheist state, but religion played a major part in its fall. Almost 60% of Albanians practice Islam while about 17% are Christians. However, according to a 2008 poll, 68% of Albanians don’t consider religion to be a major factor in their life
The city center of Tirana may seem short on sightseeing, but between the museums, religious buildings, and the Blloku area, there’s enough to keep a visitor busy for a day or two.
