Concrete dome bunker near Krujë, Albania (bunker programme, 1967 to 1986)

A one-person domed concrete bunker with a wide firing slit-opening, standing in scrubland and olive trees on a hillside near Krujë. It is one of the structures built under the state's bunker programme from 1967 to 1986, in a country whose leadership told its people it was under threat of attack from several directions at once.
