# "Rroftë miqësia shqiptaro-kineze": faded slogan on a building at Porto Palermo

A low whitewashed building on the Porto Palermo shore with a long line of faded red capital lettering along its upper wall, above window openings and a row of straw parasols stacked in front. The letters are partly worn away; the slogan, as given on Commons, proclaims long life to the Albanian-Chinese friendship.
