The Presidential Palace (Albanian: Pallati presidencial), formerly the Royal Palace (Albanian: Pallati mbretëror), popularly known as the Palace of Brigades (Albanian: Pallati i Brigadave), is the official residence of the President of the Republic of Albania. The Palace, located in Tirana, was commissioned by HM King Zog I to serve as his main official residence. In 1945, it ceased to serve as a royal residence because the Monarchist regime was substituted by a Communist-ruled Government. Since 1946, it has been used by the Government of Albania for holding official ceremonies and state receptions. In 2013, the Presidential Palace became an official residence once again, when President Bujar Nishani and his family moved into a reconstructed Villa inside the grounds of the Palace.
