Bunker near Vlorë

A concrete bunker located near Vlorë, Albania, part of the extensive network of defensive structures built during the communist era. This structure is representative of the thousands of bunkers constructed across Albania between 1967 and 1986 under the policy of 'bunkerisation' implemented by Enver Hoxha's regime. These fortifications were built in every conceivable location - from beaches and mountains to city streets and even cemeteries - as part of Albania's isolationist Cold War defense strategy.
