This square was named Scanderbeg’s Square on the 26th of November 1937. It was projected in a round shape and with a round fountain in the middle, while the dominating building was the old City Hall which was destroyed in 1980. This square was surrounded by traditional constructions: The Old Bazaar, The Clock Tower, The Et'hem Bey Mosque, The Evangelistic Church (which was destroyed later), etc. 
But during socialism period in this square was placed Stalin statue (4th of November 1951) which stayed there until 1968 when it was replaced with the monument of George Kastriot Scanderbeg. The monument was placed there on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of our national hero. This monument is an art work of the sculptors Odhise Paskali, Janaq Paço and Shaban Hadëri. It was inaugurated on 11th of January 1968.
Now, Scanderbeg Square is an open space dedicated only for pedestrians. Layed with stone from all regions of Albania and fountains that repurpose rainwater, this project is meant to be a center piece for the city; uniting Albania as a country with the use of trees, plants, and greenery from every zone in Albania.
