SPAÇ, A MEMORY THAT CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
INFOKULLA
This itinerary passes through the place of memory of the communist period, aiming to acquaint the visitors with a dark and painful period of the history of the Albanian people.
The itinerary starts with a visit to Infokulla, located on Rruga e Kombit, only 15 km from Ura Milot, which is considered one of the most unique and creative points of the tourist information offices in the country, presenting very professionally the eastern territory and not only. The information tower was built within the Albanian-Austrian Partnership - Marianne Graf (AAP) and is managed by the Mirdita Municipality.
SPAÇ PRISON
Më tej udhëtimi vijon në drejtim të Spaçit, ku gjendet burgu famëkeq i periudhës së komunizmit i cili në vitet 1930-1950 ishte një minierë aktive e bakrit dhe piritit.
The journey continues towards Spaç, where the infamous prison of the communist period is located, which in the 1930s-1950s was an active copper and pyrite mine.
The journey takes only 20 minutes from the highway exit in Reps, through a beautiful winding road in the hills of Spaçi, which mysteriously hide each other and as if they do not want to show the pain experienced over the years. In 1968, Spaci Prison was opened as "Reeducation Facility 303" - combining the prison with forced labor in the mines, where the convicts stayed in 7 large barracks. Spaci was surrounded by hard terrain and 30 guard posts with soldiers.
STONE HOUSE OF ZEF NDOCAJT, KODËR SPAÇ
After the emotional shock, the route continues towards another beautiful dimension of culture in Kodër Spaç. A few meters below, another reality becomes part of the route. Two residential buildings, the 400-year-old ground floor house and the tower of Zef Ndocaj, suddenly appear and show a lot about their architectural, human and historical wealth.
