Overview
Hidden beneath the stone city of Gjirokastër lies a vast underground complex, a chilling relic of Albania’s Cold War past. Built-in secrecy during Enver Hoxha’s regime, this labyrinth of tunnels and chambers was designed to withstand nuclear attacks and enemy invasions. As you descend into its depths, you’ll walk through dimly lit corridors, war rooms, and living quarters once prepared for high-ranking officials and military personnel.
This guided tour unveils the paranoia-driven mindset of the time, the extreme lengths taken to fortify the nation, and the silent echoes of those who once waited here for a war that never came. Experience firsthand the claustrophobic atmosphere, the untouched relics of the era, and the stories of fear, survival, and resilience embedded in its walls.
Join us for a journey into Albania’s secret past, where history is buried but never forgotten.
