This formidable fragment, once a barrier that brutally divided East and West Berlin, now stands as a poignant symbol of freedom and the end of the Cold War. Gifted to the Albanian people by the German government, it serves as a powerful reminder of the relentless human spirit, the importance of unity, and the ultimate triumph of democracy over oppression. Nearby, we will also visit Postbllok Checkpoint. This intriguing monument is a chilling reminder of Albania's communist past. It features concrete pillars from a labour camp, a bunker typical of the era, and a mine shaft from the infamous Spac labour camp.

It stands as a testament to the resilience of those who suffered and a stark reminder of the importance of freedom and human rights.
