A museum inside a huge anti-nuclear bunker on the edge of Tirana, built by the communist regime between 1972 and 1978 for the political and military leadership, reaching five floors underground with 106 rooms and a large assembly hall. The bunker was never actually used and stayed secret for decades; it opened as a temporary museum in 2014 and permanently in 2016, telling Albania's political and military history from 1939 to the end of communism. You walk long narrow corridors, command rooms and offices kept for the leaders of the era, with displays on the defence system, surveillance and daily life in the years of isolation; the great hall sometimes hosts concerts and art shows. Tickets are about 900 lek, per visitor guides. It stays cool underground all year, so bring a light jacket. It pairs easily with the nearby Dajti cable car.

No. It was built in 1972–78 for the communist leadership but never used, and stayed secret until it became a museum in 2014.
