The Pyramid of Tirana (officially International Cultural Center, Albanian Qendra Ndërkombëtare e Kulturës) is a building in downtown Tirana in Albania that opened on October 16, 1988. The building was originally dedicated to the dictator Enver Hoxha, who died in 1985, as the Enver Hoxha Museum.
The building made of white marble, glass and red steel, reminiscent of a pyramid and often called that, was designed by Hoxha's daughter Pranvera and planned and built in two years.
The pyramid is in a very central location on the magnificent boulevard Dëshmorët e Kombit and the Lana in a small park.

Piece from the Hoxha era of 1988. For a short time it was a museum dedicated to him. Then it was supposed to be demolished. Now it is used multifunctionally.
