What Is The Capital Of Albania?

The capital of Albania is Tirana. Tirana is the largest city in Albania and is a major commercial and industrial centre for the country. The principal industries include agricultural products and machinery, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and metal products.
It was founded in 1614 by Sulejman Pasha and became Albania's capital city in 1920.  Over the years, Tirana has experienced a steady population growth. The 2005 census estimates that the population of Tirana was about 585,756. The climate of Tirana ranges from 44 degrees in January to 87 degrees in July and the annual rainfall is about 50 inches. Currently, the city suffers from the problems of overpopulation, such as waste management, lack of running water and electricity as well as extremely high levels of pollution from the 300,000 cars moving around the city. The problem is exacerbated by an ageing infrastructure. Despite the problems, Tirana has also experienced a very rapid growth in the construction of new buildings, especially in the suburbs, where many of the new neighbourhoods do not yet have street names.
