The New Bazaar
The New Bazaar was constructed in 1931 and in the years that followed it was developed and grew even more. It was created as a need to increase the commercial activity that couldn’t be handled only through the Old Bazaar.
After the demolition of the Old Bazaar in 1959, the New Bazaar remained for a long time the only big trade centre of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables in Tirana.
This Bazaar is located in that area of Tirana that together with Mujo’s Neighbourhood, represents one of the oldest area of Tirana, located between the city centre and the Elbasan Street, in the eastern part of the main boulevard.
Even today the New Bazaar remains one of the biggest trade markets in the capital for meat, fish, fruit and vegetables.
Municipality of Tirana with the support of the Albanian- American Foundation Development renovated this area and turned it into a business development zone to provide a new model investment and community space. New Bazaar is a space that operates 24 hours, where the greatest focus in the morning is on the market and in the afternoon to culinary matters such as bars, restaurants around and organizing artistic activities - such as cultural festivals, fairs, etc.
