This essay is focused on the artistic concept of monumentalization, in this case in architecture and urban planning, and, through some historical examples, investigates and traces the role of this concept inrelation with the construction of representative political power. The chosen context is that of Albania, and more specifically Tirana, during the last 100 years, where three main political models -fascism, state socialism and contemporary neoliberal practices -with their analogies and developments in terms of relation with arts, have produced subjectivities and generated meanings in public space
