Bunker near Durrës

A military bunker located near Durrës, Albania, part of the extensive network of defensive fortifications built during Albania's Cold War-era 'bunkerisation' program. This program, initiated in 1967 and continuing until 1986, saw the construction of hundreds of thousands of bunkers across the country as part of a comprehensive civil defense strategy. The bunkers were strategically placed in every possible location, from beaches and mountain passes to urban streets and even cemeteries, reflecting Albania's policy of self-reliance and preparedness against potential foreign invasion.
