The ethnographic museum of Gjirokastër is situated in the Palorto Quarter, which is the best preserved district in the old town. This is the birthplace of Enver Hoxha, communist dictator of Albania from 1944 till his death in 1985. From 1966 to 1991 the building served as the Anti-Fascist Museum. In 1991 the exhibits from the previous Ethnographic Museum were moved into this space. The house has four floors, all of which are open to the public.

 

The graffiti says: Enver Legjendar; Enver legendary !
