NATIONAL MARTYRS' CEMETERY
National cemetery designed for Albanian partisans who died in the Second World War. Statue of (12 metres high).
This national cemetery (Varrezat e Dëshmorëve të Kombit) is located on a hill to the south-east of Tirana's Grand Park. Today home to the remains of 843 "martyrs", it was founded in 1971 to house Communist resistance fighters who died during the Second World War. The site is dominated by the statue of Mother Albania(Nëna Shqipëri, 1971), an inelegant 12 m high concrete sculpture designed by Kristaq Rama (1932-1998), father of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Since the fall of the Communist regime in 1991-1992, the site has undergone major changes. For example, the tomb of dictator Enver Hoxha (1908-1985), which stood at the foot of the statue, has been moved to the Kombinat cemetery (6.5 km south-west of the city center), and his headstone has been "recycled" to the "English Soldiers' Cemetery" in Grand Park. The graves of victims of the regime have been added. To the left of the statue is the collective grave of 22 scientists executed in 1951. The rest of the cemetery is made up of eight squares arranged in a semicircle, containing 768 graves of Communist resistance fighters killed between 1939 and 1944. A ninth section, furthest from the statue, is home to 26 airmen and 22 police officers who died in the line of duty, in 1962-1993 and since 1990 respectively, as well as the grave of a militant killed in the Kosovo war in 1999 and that of a Special Forces captain killed in Afghanistan in 2012.
