House of Leaves (Museum of Secret Surveillance)

Muzeu Kombëtar i Përgjimeve, “Shtëpia me Gjethe”

Set in a 1930s villa that became the headquarters of the communist secret surveillance service, this museum lays bare how the state spied on its own people. Visitors find it quietly chilling and beautifully presented.

Expect original bugging devices, cameras and case files across an intimate, well-labelled house near the Orthodox Cathedral.

Local tip: Allow extra time to read the personal files, which are the emotional heart of it.
