ist trct
The building housing the Bank of Albania is nearly
70 years old and it is located at the very center of
Tirana. Judging from its age, one can immediately
realize that the Bank has been present in the life
of several generations inhabiting the capital. It has
therefore been a witness of the major events that
have transformed the life of the Albanians in the
last 15 years, thus being an active protagonist in
the uplift of peoples wellbeing, an encouragementand support for the overall economic development
of the country.
The building was designed by the Italian architect
Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo. Its style is in harmony with
the main square of Tirana and its boulevard.
Solid and heavy-looking, it is surrounded with an
original glow that stems from the auburn color of
the facade and its soft semi round shape in accord
with the great responsibilities this building carries
on the inside and a reection of trust and security it
projects on the outside.
While formerly surrounded by a wider green area
and presently located in an environment of a nice
blend of modern and classic architecture, result-
ing from the many changes the centre of Tirana is
undergoing, the Bank building still remains one of
the living symbols of the capital.
Designed for a limited number of employees upon
its construction in 1938, the building has under-
gone several changes during its lifetime, which
have not marred its identity. It continues to be thebuilding of the Bank of Albania, unique in its kind
and rivaled by none. It is the winner of a Beauty Pag-
eant, accompanied by neither a rst, nor a second
runner up.
Soon the building will be subject to an overall
construction and renovation project. Our aim is to
transform It into a comfortable working environment
for the staff of the Bank, while retaining the art and
construction values of both the interior and the
facade and above all, retaining its representative
identity.
Inviting you to read the following brochure, we hope
to have given you relevant information with regard
to the history of the building, which for years on end
has accompanied your lives with its quiet modesty.

T rctct
Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo (1890-1966), was a wellknown Italian architect of the 1930- 1940s, as well
as one of Mussolinis favorites. In 1938 Mussolini
commissioned him with the reconstruction of Piazza
Augusto Imperatore square, which was the rst
project of modern architecture in the historical
center of Rome.
Another big project of Mogrupo is The Roman ShipsMuseum of Nemi.
Nonetheless, according to the architects that
studied his work, the building of The Bank of Albania
compared even to his Roman works is the work
that in the most elegant way expresses Mogrupos
professionalism as an architect.
