Partly obscured behind an agglomeration of roots and branches, the House of Leaves villa was once the headquarters of Albania's communist-era secret service, the Sigurimi.
Partly obscured behind an agglomeration of roots and branches, the House of Leaves villa was once the headquarters of Albania's communist-era secret service, the Sigurimi. Built in 1931 as a medical clinic, it was used by the Gestapo during German occupation in World War II, and then by the Albanian government as a security office for investigations. Today, it houses the Museum of Secret Surveillance, offering a peek into the covert spying operations carried out during the dark period of Albanian history. On display are various tools, monitoring equipment and techniques used by the Sigurimi to gain information about suspects.
