From Sheshi Zahir Pajaziti, take Rr. Xhorxh Bush to reach the highly distinctive National and University Library building. Dedicated to the Bishop of Shkodra and important author of early Albanian literature, Pjetër Bogdani (1630-1689), the building is certainly a matter of taste and was even voted the third ugliest building in the world a few years ago, but it is undoubtedly original. The library was founded in Prizren in 1944 and only moved to its current building on the university campus in 1982. The unusual building, with a total area of 16,500 m², is completely encased in steel pipes and has 99 white glass domes. The largest library in the country houses an extensive collection of cultural and historical works that are significant for Kosovo, as well as ancient photographs of Pristina and rare books and manuscripts dating back to the 16th century (http://www.biblioteka-ks.org).
