The Skanderbeg Monument is an iconic bronze statue of Albania's 15th-century national hero riding a horse, created by sculptor Odhise Paskali and unveiled in 1968.

Visitors can walk around the base to view detailed reliefs depicting scenes from Skanderbeg's battles. The statue is a popular meeting point and photo spot, with the backdrop of the square's landmarks adding to its grandeur.
