Zogu I Boulevard or Boulevard Zog I (Albanian: Boulevardi Zogu i parë) (formerly Stalin Boulevard, Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard) is a major boulevard in Tirana, Albania, named after Zogu I, the former King of Albania who ruled the country between 1925-1929. It runs in a northerly direction from the central Skanderbeg Square. South of the square the road becomes Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard, running south.[1]
During the communist period, the Boulevard was named 'Stalin Boulevard' and the name was changed after the restoration of democracy in Albania.
In 2012 a statue of King Zog was placed in the boulevard in the event of the 100th Anniversary of the Independence of Albania.[2]
