Bunker near Shkodër

A concrete bunker located near Shkodër, Albania, is part of the extensive network of defensive structures built during Albania's communist era. Following a policy of "bunkerisation" that began in 1967 and continued until 1986, the Albanian government constructed hundreds of thousands of bunkers across the country as part of a nationwide defense strategy. These structures were built in every conceivable location, from beaches and mountain passes to city streets and even cemeteries, reflecting the regime's pervasive military paranoia during the Cold War period.
