Statue in Tirana, Albania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Unknown Soldier (Albanian: Ushtari i panjohur) is a war memorial statue in Tirana for the soldiers that fell in the struggle against the Italian invaders during Second World War. The statue is located near the Albanian parliament and the Tomb of Kapllan Pasha. It was placed by the Albanian communists: For its construction, the 350-year old Sulejman Pasha Mosque built by the founder of the capital Sulejman Bargjini as well as the Suleyman Pasha Tomb were destroyed. The sculpture features a soldier with a raised fist and rifle, struggling forward.[1]
