'''The Unknown Soldier''' ({{Langx|sq|Ushtari i panjohur}}) is a war memorial statue in [[Tirana]] for the soldiers that fell in the struggle against the Italian invaders during [[Second World War]]. The statue is located near the [[Albanian parliament]] and the [[Tomb of Kapllan Pasha]]. It was placed by the Albanian communists: For its construction, the 350-year old [[Sulejman Pasha Mosque]] built by the founder of the capital [[Sulejman Bargjini]] was destroyed. The sculpture features a soldier with a raised fist and rifle, struggling forward.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gpsmycity.com/tours/tirana-introduction-walk-3640.html|title=City Walk: Tirana Introduction Walk, Tirana, Albania|website=GPSmyCity}}</ref>
