Tirana: the largest city and the capital of Albania; it is enclosed by mountains and hills with a northwest overlook of Adriatic Sea in the distance, even if it is located in the centre of the country; the city is particularly influenced by a Mediterranean seasonal climate. It is among the wettest and sunniest cities in Europe. Tirana was founded as a city in 1614 by the Ottoman Albanian general Sylejman Pasha Bargjini the city's territory has been continuously inhabited since the Iron Age. The first civilization was Illyrians, and was most likely the core of the Illyrian Kingdom of the Taulantii, which in Classical Antiquity was centred in the hinterland of Epidamnus. Following the Illyrian Wars it was annexed by Rome and became an integral part of the Roman Empire. The heritage of that period is still evident and represented by the Mosaics of Tirana. Later, in the 5th and 6th centuries, an Early Christian basilica was built around this site. After 4th century the Byzantine Empire took control over most of Albania, and built the Petrelë Castle in the reign of Justinian I. The city was fairly unimportant until the 20th century, when the Congress of Lushnjë proclaimed it as Albania's capital, after the Albanian Declaration of Independence in 1912.

Classified as a gamma-world-city, Tirana is the most important economic, financial, political and trade centre in Albania due to its significant location in the centre of the country and its modern air, maritime, rail and road transportation. The city was announced as the European Youth Capital for 2022.
