It runs in a northerly direction from the central Skanderbeg Square. South of the square the road becomes Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard, running south. 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.
