A hidden gem in Tirana
Vila Shijaku is a stunning house located just a few minutes from the center of Tirana. It was the house of the renowned artist and painter Sali Shijaku, and it has become an oasis of art and nature for visitors to enjoy.
The house has a lovely design reminiscent of bygone eras and is typical of the old Tirana villas. Visitors can view furniture that is as old as the house itself on its two floors. Given that the owner was an artist, it is not surprising that the house's interior is decorated with paintings. It is the ideal spot to unwind and take in the history and art around you because the house is bright and the interior is quite inviting.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Vila Shijaku is the underground tunnel in front of the house. Visitors can explore this tunnel, which is a rare sight in Tirana. The tunnel is a fascinating addition to the house, adding to the overall sense of mystery and intrigue.
Outside the house is a beautiful yard with tables to sit, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings. It is the perfect spot to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the peaceful oasis that Vila Shijaku offers.
