MiG Cemetery

Open-air graveyard of retired Albanian fighter jets near Berat, a stark Cold War leftover.

The MiG Cemetery near Berat is a strange Cold War afterimage: retired fighter aircraft lined up in the open, stripped of their old purpose and left as blunt metal relics. It says more about Albania's 20th century than many polished monuments do.

It is not a formal museum experience, and access can be sensitive, so treat it with caution and local advice. For travellers interested in bunkers, isolation, and the military landscape of communist Albania, it is a memorable detour rather than a casual roadside curiosity.
