Museum dedicated to the Communist dictatorship in former underground shelters built to house the city's apparatchiks.
This municipal museum (Muzeu I Luftës Së Ftohtë) is housed in former underground tunnels built in the 1960s to shelter the city's apparatchiks in case of bombing, and looted in 1991. The guided tour (at the start of each hour) is sensationalist and full of inaccuracies about the reality of the effects of the Communist dictatorship. Moreover, very few local survivors of Enver Hoxha's terror regime were consulted in the creation of this "museum", which was set up in 2014.

Une nouveauté sur la ville de Gjirokastra, qu'on avait pris par hasard sans se rendre compte qu'il fallait payer. Un guide est obligatoire, le notre était très enthousiaste en anglais et ne racontait pas les histoires auxquelles l'avis du Petit Futé fait allusion. Petite scène de comédie pendant la visite quand des scouts se perdaient dans des tunnels fermés au public...
