Nestled in a valley between the Sharr Mountains on one side and the ruins of a hilltop citadel on the other, Prizren is beautifully situated. Flowing through the heart of the city is the Lumbardhi (Bistrica) River, its fast-flowing waters skimming over a riverbed of boulders and under the many bridges that criss-cross the city. From the citadel, the old town spills off the hillside to the cobbled Schadervan Square below, flanked by the iconic Sinan Pasha Mosque and the humpbacked Stone Bridge. With a heady mix of Ottoman and Byzantine architecture, the city deserves its alternative name: ‘The Museum under the Open Sky’.

The League of Prizren Building is part of the Gazi Mehmed Pasha complex, namely the complex of the Albanian League of Prizren. The Complex of the League is an urban/architectural ensemble, strategically located in the old city centre, with special cultural, historical, societal and environmental values. The building is rectangular, intruding on the ground floor and the upper floor. The upper floor intrudes on the outside in its eastern façade. The façade is linear, with several rectangular openings, and a four-gutter roof. The building of the League of Prizren initially served as a Dershane (teaching room) in the Gazi Mehmed Pasha complex. From 1878 and until 1881, the building was used as an administrative office of the Albanian League of Prizren. During the 20th century, the building was used as a residence. In 1968, the building was relocated for several meters west, due to road construction. The period between 1976-1978 brought restoration and revitalization interventions, in which case, to celebrate the 100th anniversary, the building was transformed into a part of the Museum Complex of the Albanian League of Prizren. In March 1999, the facility was entirely ruined by Serbian paramilitary, and a park was constructed. After 1999 war, the works took place in designing and reconstructing this icon of the Albanian history. The works finished on 10th of June 2000. In 2003, the yard of the Museum was entirely redesigned, and the building is now a Historical Museum. The Museum features items demonstrating the history of political developments through the period 1878 – 1881.
