Queen Geraldine is immortalized through this statue on Boulevard Zogu I.
Here she appears dressed in a wedding dress, being at the same time a Hungarian girl and countess on the verge of being the queen of the Albanians, symbolizing a meeting point between cultures.
Armer Juka: The Municipality of Tirana gave the bust of Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg as a gift to the Hungarian government and they gave us the Hungarian countess as a gift. The work is realized by a Hungarian sculptor.
This statue will stand on the main boulevard which is almost entirely dedicated to the royal family. On September 2, King Ahmet Zog and Queen Geraldine.
Armer Juka: This commemoration of Geraldine, the Queen of Albanians, comes on the 20th anniversary of her separation from life.
The Countess was born in Budapest on August 6, 1915. On April 27, 1938, she was crowned King Zog I, but would leave Albania as Queen only a year later, when the Italian occupation of the country began.
After 63 years in exile she returned and built a life in Tirana, leaving the will to rest forever next to her husband.
