The Blloku is widely known as an entertainment and shopping destination with its many boutiques, shops, restaurants, trendy bars, pubs and cafes. During the Communist period it was a restricted residential area for the members of the Albanian politburo; ordinary Albanians would not be allowed in. The residence of the Albania’s communist leader Enver Hoxha is still there.
