After the first episode in southern Albania, including Berat, Gjirokastër, Butrint, Ksamil, and the Albanian Riviera, our journey continues to Tirana, the capital of Albania. If you missed the first episode, here it is 👉    • IL PARADISO CHE STANNO DISTRUGGENDO: La Ve...   Tirana, a city that today appears young, colorful, chaotic, and in full transformation, yet hides one of the harshest and most absurd histories of twentieth-century Europe. In this video, we explore Tirana, including monumental squares, national symbols, communist-era architecture, religion, memory, and propaganda. 📍 In this episode, we explore: Skanderbeg Square, the heart of the Albanian capital The story of national hero George Castriota Skanderbeg The connection between Skanderbeg and the name of the Albanian currency, the lek The new Grand Mosque in Tirana Traces of communist Albania in the city center The cult of paranoia during Enver Hoxha's dictatorship The system of bunkers built throughout the country Bunk'Art 1, the enormous nuclear bunker now a museum During the communist dictatorship, Albania built approximately 173,000 bunkers, scattered everywhere: cities, countryside, mountains, beaches. An entire nation prepared for an invasion that never came, but which profoundly affected the country's landscape and mentality. Entering Bunk'Art 1 means physically descending into Albania's darkest past: underground corridors, military quarters, command centers, propaganda, surveillance, and memory. Tirana today is a growing capital, full of energy, bars, colors, and contrasts. But to truly understand it, you also need to look beneath the surface, inside those bunkers that speak of the isolation, fear, and control of one of Europe's most closed regimes. 🎥 This is the second episode of our journey through Albania: a journey through tourism, history, dictatorship, urban rebirth, and collective memory. If you're planning a trip and want to know what to see in Tirana, what bunkers represent in Albania, and why you should visit Bunk'Art 1, this video takes you inside one of the most surprising capitals in the Balkans. ✍️ Did you know that Albania built over 170,000 bunkers? 🔔 Subscribe to the channel for more journeys to strange places, borders, history, and countries off the beaten track. 👇 VIDEO CHAPTERS 👇 00:00 INTRO 01:29 Skanderbeg Square 06:14 Curiosities about the LEK 07:20 Social Stratifications 13:02 Icons and Contrasts 16:14 Tirana Boulevard 19:10 Dictatorship and Bunkers
