It features the National Historical Museum and the Skanderbeg Museum in Krujë Castle, alongside the repurposed Pyramid of Tirana. Cold War history is preserved in the Bunk’Art 2 nuclear bunker, while traditional Ottoman architecture is represented by the 19th-century Skënduli House in Gjirokastër. Shkodër’s performing arts heritage is highlighted at the Migjeni Theatre, one of the country’s most important cultural venues.
