Tomb of Kaplan Pasha

Varri i Kapllan Pashës,Tomb of Kaplan Pasha,Tyrbja e Kapllan Pashes
Albania, Tirana
The tomb was built in honor of one of the Turkish governors in Albania - Kaplan Pasha. The building dates from the 18th century. Before the Second World War, there was a mosque from the 17th century next to the tomb, but during the war it was completely destroyed.
During the reign of Enver Hoxha, the tomb was closed to the public.
Despite the fact that in 1948 the memorial was recognized as a national and cultural heritage of the country, it still suffered from the hands of vandals.
For a long time the attraction was in poor condition. However, in 2015, the memorial was completely restored and even equipped with a backlight that works at night.

The tomb has recently been restored. We did not set out to visit this particular attraction. Came across it by accident. I was pleasantly surprised. Literally two years ago, a friend visited Albania and, among the pictures of other attractions, showed this one. I can say that the local authorities are great. The tomb now looks like new, and in the evening it also glows.
