Mustafa Lleshi Street
Mustafa Lleshi Street ( sq, Rruga Mustafa Lleshi) is a pedestrian only street in Tirana, the capital of Albania. It is named after Mustafa Lleshi, a World War II Albanian hero. History Prior to the 1990s, the area was largely villas, fields, and fruit orchards. With the reintroduction of private property in Albania, many villas were sold and demolished to build apartment buildings. The area has retained several of the older villas, though they remain hidden behind walls, shrubs and vines. Cars were not common in those times, and as such the introduction of cars has led to the removal of sidewalks in the area, but Mustafa Lleshi Street has remained a pedestrian only walkway. The student protests of 1990 followed Mustafa Lleshi Street into the city center. At the intersection of Pjeter Budi Street and Mustafa Lleshi Street, there once stood a giant olive tree, and the corner was known as "Ulliri" (''Olive'' in English). Many people today still know the area by this name, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
