House Studio Kadare

House Studio Kadare is the preserved apartment where Ismail Kadare, one of Albania's most celebrated writers, lived with his family. The space provides a unique glimpse into the life of an intellectual under communist rule, showcasing original manuscripts, letters, and personal belongings. The building itself is architecturally significant, being the only example of 'cubist' style architecture in Tirana and formerly occupied by members of the 'Nomenklatura' – the privileged class of communist Albania. A visit offers not only literary insight but also a historical understanding of the period and the challenges faced by artists and thinkers.
